Al Ahli Jeddah has travelled to Doha in order to have a series of friendlies as they too have a break due to the 2014 Gulf Cup of Nations. The Saudi outfit will play Al Wakrah on the 18^th of November and new Waves head coach Nourdine bin Zakri will use this time to stamp his mark on his new team.

The Algerian Zakri was drafted in after the departure of Tunisian head coach Maher Kenzari and has so far overseen two defeats in the Qatar Stars League.

This match will give Zakri valuable time to try some new tactics and perhaps get the Blues Waves playing better than before.

Al Wakrah currently lies in 12^th place in the QSL rankings with just 7 points.
