Al Arabi coach Anthony Hudson spoke to the media ahead of their 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 8 match against Qatar SC.

“Our focus now is on regaining physical balance, given the short time after the Al Qadsia match in the Gulf Championship.

“We need to regain positive results and we have a very strong squad and we are focused on improving our performance only.

“The importance of this match lies in achieving the three points, which will give us a great advantage and comfort to reach the farthest point.

“Fans’ role is great and influential at a time when we need everyone’s efforts to unite,” said Hudson.

Al Arabi player Ishaq Al Hajj said, “The match against Qatar SC is very important and we must show our best in all challenges, which reflects the reality of the strong competition in the tournament. We aim to get points from the match.

“It is normal to be under pressure, but the players are confident in their ability to get out of this situation and deliver a strong performance that shows the team’s capabilities. Winning the next match is a big and important requirement, and we will do our best to achieve victory and get the three points.”
