Al Sailiya coach Mirghani Al Zain spoke to the media ahead of their 2026-2027 season Doha Bank Stars League Week 7 match against Al Rayyan.

“Our team faces a difficult challenge against the current league leaders. The coaching staff and players are fully aware of the magnitude of the challenge and the importance of the match, and are preparing hard to deliver a competitive performance and secure a positive result.

“The players’ morale has improved following our draw in the previous match against Qatar SC, providing a significant boost ahead of the upcoming encounter. At the same time, we are remaining at the bottom of league table, which necessitates greater focus, intensified effort and hard work in the coming period to improve results and move out of their current position,” said Mirghani.

Al Sailiya player Musab Al Battat said, “The match against league leaders Al Rayyan poses a major challenge, given the strength of the opponents and the high level of performance they have been displaying.

“Al Sailiya possess a group of talented players capable of performing well, despite our current standing in the league. Everyone understands the significance of upcoming phase and the necessity of working to change the team’s current situation and returning to achieve positive results.”
