Al Wakrah coach Vicente Moreno spoke to the media ahead of their 2025-2026 season Doha Bank Stars League Week 6 match against Umm Salal.

“We will be playing against a team that I consider very strong. This team excels in direct and second balls, and they have very fast players who pose a great threat in transitions. But we have prepared for the match and I hope we will have a good match.

“I am happy with my team so far, especially since we have a group of very good players in the league. We can improve and perform better, and we have great ambitions to compete for the top positions, so we always want to perform better,” said Moreno.

Al Wakrah player Lucas Verissimo said, “I hope that we will be able to regain our winning touch against Umm Salal.

“The opponent has a good team that plays a lot of transitions, but our team is well-equipped for that. At the same time, we are also thinking about imposing our style of play, which is to be strong and try to get the three points.”
