Al Sailiya coach Mirghani Al Zain spoke to the media ahead of their 2025-2026 Doha Bank Stars League Week 21 match against Al Sadd.

“This is one of the toughest matches of the season, given the strength of our opponents and their direct competition for the title.

“We enter the match with high morale after our performance in previous games. The coaching staff have shown commitment to maintain the same competitive spirit and discipline on the field throughout the season.

“The current stage requires high concentration and mental fortitude from all players, especially with the league nearing its end. The team still has a chance to achieve its goals this season, whether by improving its position in the standings or moving away from the relegation zone.

“I have great confidence in all team members, the entire squad is ready to deliver and everyone understands the magnitude of responsibility at this crucial stage,” said Mirghani.

Al Sailiya player Abdullah Mahmoud said, “The match represents a significant challenge for the team, especially against an opponent of Al Sadd’s calibre. The players are fully prepared to deliver a strong performance that reflects the team’s character. Preparations went off well and team spirit and focus during training reflect a strong desire to achieve a positive result.”
