['Although the incidence of football injuries should relate to team success there is little empirical evidence.', 'We investigated the relationship between injury incidence and team success in Qatar first-division football clubs.', 'Using a prospective cohort study design, we captured exposure and injuries in Qatar male elite football for a season. Club performance was measured by total league points, ranking, goal scored, goals conceded and number of matches won, drawn or lost.', 'Lower injury incidence was strongly correlated with team ranking position (r=0.929, p=0.003), more games won (r=0.883, p=0.008), more goals scored (r=0.893, p=0.007), greater goal difference (r=0.821, p=0.003) and total points (r=0.929, p=0.003).'] Does low injury rate strongly correlate with team success in Qatari professional football?
