Belhadj's crowning achievement was leading Al Sadd to the 2011 AFC Champions League title, the first for any Qatari club. His goal in the final shootout made him a legend in Qatari football. At Portsmouth, he was a bright spot in a difficult period, and his international career with Algeria included a memorable World Cup appearance. His legacy is that of a reliable, attacking left-back who gave his all for every club he represented.

AwardsBelhadj won the FA Cup with Portsmouth in 2008, though he joined after the final. His major honours came at Al Sadd, where he won the AFC Champions League in 2011 and multiple Qatar Stars League titles. He also received a Footballer of the Year honour, though details are sparse.
