Al Shahania coach Jose Murcia spoke to the media ahead of their 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 16 match against Umm Salal.

“We had time to prepare for this match unlike the previous period, and the team is experiencing a wonderful atmosphere in light of the victories it is achieving, and we need to focus greatly in order to win this match.

“It is a very difficult mission, we are moving step by step, and our next goal is the Umm Salal team, we focus on hard work, and this is the secret of our strength. We work hard and modestly, and we are aware of our capabilities and respect all competitors, and we play every match to win,” said Murcia.

Al Shahania player Lotfi Rabah Madjer said, “Players have great confidence in themselves. We have great confidence after what the team has achieved in the past rounds, and we are preparing for the Umm Salal team with great focus, but our focus is not on the previous results but on the Umm Salal match and to continue at the same level until the end of the season.

“We respect the competitor. Umm Salal is a big club. We are moving step by step, and everyone is ready for this match.”
