Al Dhafra’s first football team will host Shabab Al Ahli in a highly anticipated clash at 9:30 PM this Friday at Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Stadium in Madinat Zayed, as part of Matchweek 17 of the UAE Pro League. The match will take place in a special Ramadan atmosphere, with strong crowd attendance expected.

Al Dhafra enter the fixture determined to secure a positive result that would strengthen their position in the standings and provide a significant morale boost as the competition reaches its decisive stages, where every point carries increased importance in the battle to improve rankings and distance themselves from the relegation zone.

The team concluded its preparations with a series of focused training sessions following their recent draw against Al Bataeh. Head coach Željko Petrović reviewed the team’s recent performances, addressed key technical aspects, intensified physical readiness, and implemented the tactical plan required to face one of the league’s strongest and most consistent sides this season.

On the other hand, Shabab Al Ahli approach the match aiming to continue their positive run, as they remain one of the leading contenders for the title. They are keen to avoid dropping any points in the race for the top spot, particularly amid fierce competition with league leaders Al Ain.

Al Dhafra currently sit tenth in the table with 17 points, while Shabab Al Ahli are second with 38 points, one match behind Al Ain.

Al Dhafra supporters look forward to a strong and spirited performance on this Ramadan evening, hoping for a positive result that reflects the team’s determination and ambition on the pitch.

Best wishes to Al Dhafra for delivering a performance worthy of the club’s history and the aspirations of its fans.
