Al Arabi and Umm Salal will lock horns in their Week 3 match of 2025-2026 Doha Bank Stars League at the Al Thumama Stadium on Friday, August 29, 2025. The kick-off is at 6.30pm.

Both teams enter the match with a shared desire of scoring a win and collecting the three points and improve their position in the standings.

Al Arabi have only 1 point to their credit so far, earned from a draw against Al Wakrah. Under the leadership of their coach Pablo Amo, Al Arabi are aiming to achieve their first win of the season to restore confidence and heal the wounds of their 1-2 loss to Al Gharafa in the previous round.

Umm Salal, on the other hand, will go into the match with a high morale having defeated Al Shahania 2-0 in the last round, securing their first 3 points. Umm Salal’s French coach Patrice Carteron will be hoping to continue the winning streak, relying on the brilliance of his distinguished players.

The match represents an important stage in the league championship for both teams. Al Arabi are looking to return to winning ways and avoid falling into a spiral of negative results early on, while Umm Salal are seeking to continue accumulating points and consolidate their position in the top rungs of the standings.
