Al Shamal coach David Prats spoke to the media ahead of their 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 19 match against Al Shahania.

“We will face a great team with top-level players guided by a very distinguished coach.

“Al Shahania play exceptional football, have put in good performances and have achieved good results this season. Therefore, it is essential that we are well  prepared.

“Al Shamal are also a great team with top-level players who are determined and highly capable. Therefore, we are looking forward to winning and collecting the three points to secure the best possible position at the end of the league.

“Both Al Shamal and Al Shahania have distinguished players in many positions, be it in defence, attack or midfield, and therefore the competition between them on the field will be intense,” said Prats.

Al Shamal player Mohammed Nasser said, “Al Shahania are a distinguished team that has played very strong matches this season and achieved good results. They are certainly striving to achieve victory, which is the same goal we have in this match.

“We look forward to collecting the three points and maintaining our position at the top of the table, and avoiding any other considerations.”
