Al Shamal coach Nuno Almeida spoke to the media ahead of their 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 3 match against Qatar SC.

“A new strong match awaits us in the league and I expect it to be difficult for the two teams that are looking to win and collect the three points, so the competition will be great between the two parties on the field in order to achieve the desired goal, which is victory.

“We will certainly fight to collect the three points and compensate for the recent loss, but at the same time the match will not be easy against one of the big teams in the league, such as the two big teams we played against in the last two matches.

“The team will do its utmost to achieve the desired result and collect the three points. The task will not be easy against a good team that is also looking to win,” said Almeida.

Al Shamal player Mohammed Omar said, “The match against Qatar SC is very important for us and also for the competitor in view of both teams’ efforts to win and compensate. The match will not be easy, against a strong team, and although they lost the first two matches, it remains a strong team with good players. From our side, we are also looking to win and compensate for the recent loss against Umm Salal, so we have to return and search for the three points, and complete the journey that we started strongly this season.”
