Al Ahli coach Igor Biscan spoke to the media ahead of their 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 20 match against Al Shahania.

“We are determined to continue on the winning path in the remaining rounds of the Ooredoo Stars League.

“I am aware that the match would not be easy as we would face an organized team, Al Shahania. However, I always focused on my team as a group and am preparing them for the match to achieve their goals on the field.

“The team performed exceptionally well against Al Rayyan and secured an important victory that will have a significant impact on the players’ performances in the match against Al Shahania and the two matches that will follow.

“We showed our true colours with an excellent performance and high concentration in the last round, and therefore the team will be in a better position against Al Shahania, especially since we had suffered greatly in the previous rounds and lost many points,” said Biscan.

Al Ahli goalkeeper Yazan Naim said, “I suffered greatly from the injury and had to work hard to regain my technical level. I received significant support from fellow players, the technical staff, and the fitness trainers until I returned to action. I will work to be at my best technically for the rest of the league.

“I am all praise for the high spirits among Al Ahli players and the good atmosphere within the team, which helped us return to winning ways in the last round. I will now focus more on the upcoming match against Al Shahania in Round 20 of the league.”
