Al Rayyan coach Arthur Jorge spoke to the media ahead of their 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 19 match against Al Ahli.

“This is one of the most important matches for us. We know that. It may be the biggest match in recent times, because we are doing well to reach fourth place. We are now facing our goal and we must achieve it. We only have four matches left. We need to improve ourselves and try to reach this position in order to participate in the Qatar Cup. My players and I are definitely ready for this very important match for us.

“All international players have returned well, without injuries. Some have won important matches, others have not, but most of them have participated. I believe the break has given the team plenty of time to prepare and given us the opportunity to address what we need to do,” said Arthur Jorge.

Al Rayyan player Mohammed Saleh said, “We know the importance of the match and the position we are striving for. All the players are fully prepared to give everything we have during this match to be in the top four.

“We will treat it as a cup match and victory is our goal to advance to fourth place. We will continue on the same path, which is to continue achieving victories. This is our approach, along with the technical staff and players, to continue competing for other championships.”
