The pre-match press conference was held this evening ahead of our first team's upcoming clash against Dibba Al-Hisn, as part of Matchweek 22 in the ADNOC Pro League. The game is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, April 22nd, at Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi Stadium.

Head coach Alfred Schreuder highlighted the difficulty of the upcoming encounter, noting that Dibba Al-Hisn has been delivering strong performances recently and their results reflect a well-organized and cohesive side. He stated:

“We approach this match with high morale following our important victory over Sharjah. We're aiming to build on that success and secure another positive result. We were fortunate in that match, and it’s good to finally have luck on our side after a tough period, but what truly matters is the fighting spirit and determination the players showed until the final whistle.”

Meanwhile, player Abdullah Idris emphasized the importance of preparation and full concentration, saying:

“Dibba Al-Hisn is a strong team, and the match will be a real test. We need to be fully focused to achieve a positive result. We’re happy with the recent win, but our main goal is to maintain consistent team performance and continue working together as one unit.”
