Al Wakrah coach Luis Sierra spoke to the media ahead of their 2026-2027 season Doha Bank Stars League Week 9 match against Al Shahania.

“Our primary goal this week has been to restore the players’ fitness, especially given the short turnaround between our last match and the upcoming one. Consequently, we have placed a strong emphasis on recovery and proper physical preparation.

“I believe we have played four very difficult matches recently. We won three and lost only one – a defeat that, notably, occurred in the final minutes. Looking ahead, if we continue to perform at this same level, I am confident that we are capable of beating any opponent,” said Luis Sierra.

Al Wakrah player Omar Salah said, “The team is fully prepared for the match against Al Shahania in the ninth round of Bank Doha Stars League. I hope we will secure the victory and all three points.

“Preparations for this match do not differ significantly from those for other games. The variations are only in minor details. The coach has focused extensively on the tactical aspects specific to this encounter.”
