Al Khor coach Mehdi Nafti spoke to the media ahead of their 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 13 match against Al Shahania.

“We prepared well for this match against Al Shahania and worked on correcting the mistakes we made against Al Gharafa to avoid them in our next match.

“We must play fiercely in this match, collect points and appear at the required level. Our last three matches were against very strong teams, Al Sadd, Al Duhail and Al Gharafa, and now we face Al Shahania, who are direct competitors to us, so here lies the importance of this match.

“Winning this match will be a great motivation for us to arrest the slump and improve our position in the standings. Everyone in the club is still working hard during the transfer window, and we may see some additions to the team before the end of the month,” said Mehdi Nafti.

Al Khor player Ahmed Kone said, “Our preparations were good for this match and we know that we are facing a good team, but we are ready. We are dealing with this match well, we still have many matches ahead of us and there are more points to collect.

“We appeared well in our last matches and what we lack now are only points and results. I trust the capabilities of my colleagues and the technical staff that we can get out of this stage. We must continue working, the team is developing significantly and we hope to collect the three points against Al Shahania.”
