Ismail Ahmed, our team manager, confirmed that overcoming Al Sadd in the semi-finals does not mean winning the title, but rather that we have to focus and fight in the final in order to achieve the fourth title.

Ismail said in a statement to the club’s official website: “The team marked its name for the fourth time in its history after playing good matches and achieving victory after victory until reaching the last stop, which requires us to focus and forget all previous matches. The players on Friday must put in all their efforts on the field in order to achieve the fourth title.”

Ismail said: “Al-Gharafa is a great team and a fierce opponent on the field, and reaching the final means that it will work with all its might to achieve the title, and the confrontation will be difficult for both teams.

At his speech, Ismail said: “Everyone is working with full energy for the end of our local season and the most important championship and this makes us not pay attention to the nominations that give us the advantage in winning the title, there are 90 minutes that need the whole team to work in a fighting spirit on the field in order to win the title.”
