Umm Salal coach Damir Canadi spoke to the media ahead of their 2026-2027 season Jetour League Week 8 match against Al Bidda.

“I stress the importance of focus, tactical discipline and teamwork in order to secure a victory and claim all three points.

“I expect a tough and competitive match. We respect our opponents, but our focus remains on our own performance on the pitch. We must be disciplined defensively, play with intensity and capitalize on the opportunities that come our way during the game,” said Damir Canadi.

Umm Salal player Sayed Hassan said, “The players are heading into the match with high morale and great confidence following our victory over Al Waab in the previous round.”
