Nakheel Landscapes and Taleb Group will go head-to-head this Friday night to be crowned champions of the seventh edition of Workers’ Cup.

The match, which will kick off at 7.15pm and is open to the public, will see Nakheel attempt to become the first team to win the trophy three years in a row.

Speaking ahead of the game, Nakheel coach Sami Salah Udden discussed his side’s chances.

He said, “The players are very excited to play – for some of the guys this’ll be their first final. We know it’ll be a tough game and we’re aware that Taleb will want to get their hands back on the trophy.”

Udden continued, “We’re expecting 6,000 people at the stadium to support us, which just goes to show how important this tournament is for everyone at Nakheel. It means so much to Nakheel’s management, which demonstrates the company’s commitment to its workers both on and off the pitch.”

Talking about regaining the title, Taleb Group coach Gamal Gad said, “We’re there to win and we’ll be challenging for the cup all the way. This tournament plays a huge role in promoting football and football participation in Qatar. We’re delighted that we can play a part in helping achieve the country’s vision to become a sports hub in the region.”

The Workers’ Cup is organised by the Qatar Stars League and sponsored by the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy. The tournament supports the two organisations’ commitment to use football as a tool to accelerate social and human development.

There will be fan activities from 4.30pm.
