Kick off Friday 3rd April 18:15pm at the Abdulla bin Khalifa stadium

El Jaish Head Coach Sabri Lamouchi

 “I am glad to be back in action, the break gave my players a chance to catch their breath.”

“For the match against Al-Shamal, we perfectly know their status in the league, but we must focus on our goal in order to achieve the third position.”

“The battle for fourth place doesn’t affect us. El Jaish is expected to compete for the title, third position is below our expectations.”

 “We now have to focus now on the final league matches and finishing well then we move on to the cup competitions.”



Al-Shamal Head Coach Dragan Stojkovic

“We will never give up and will fight through the remaining matches, these games will prepare the team for the coming Emir Cup fixtures.”

“We can’t speak about our goals for the next season, now we are required to focus on the remaining matches in the league and the Emir Cup, after which we will be thinking about the future. We have at least four matches of this current season.”

“I can’t answer any queries regarding the renewal of my contract, simply because we are concentrating on the coming matches we are playing, most important of which against Al-Sadd. I have spoke with the players during the previous period demanding better preformances.”
