Al Ahli have launched their pre-season training at the Aspire Academy football pitches.

The training session on Saturday was headed by coach Ruben de la Barrera who took over the reigns midway through last season from Milan Machala. 

The training session saw the participation of most of the squad members. 

Al Ahli recently signed Moroccan player Nabil Al Azhar who has joined Dutch star Nigel de Young and Iran's Umeid Brahimi. 

Al Ahli is expected to complete it's roster of four foreign players in the coming days. A solid center back is what can serve Al Ahli well in the new season.

The training session for the new season will continue at Aspire Academy for a week before the side leaves for the Netherlands on July 15. 

The pre-season training camp in Europe will last for two weeks, the club announced. 

Last season, Al Ahli finished the QNB Stars League points standings with a tally of 34 points. Al Ahli posted 10 wins last season.
