Translated by Qiyas from القبس — Original source
Tomorrow, Al-Kazma’s first football team will host their UAE counterpart, Ajman, at the 5:00 p.m. match at the Friendship and Stability Stadium, as part of the second round of Group 3 in the third edition of the Gulf Club Champions Cup, played under its new format. The Orange aim to secure their first victory in their current campaign at home, in front of their supporters, after losing their opening match to Saudi club Al-Ittihad 2-0. In the same round, the UAE side defeated Iraqi side Erbil 4-1.
Croatian coach Dragan Tadić relies on Al-Kazma’s distinctive squad, both among professionals and local talents. The team features German international Kenner, Patrick Robson, Amath Ndiaye, as well as Bader Tariq, Ahmed Al-Zanki, Meshal Al-Shamari, Abdullah Al-Fahad, and Sultan Al-Anzi. They will face Serbian coach Goran Tufadžić, the former head coach of Kuwait’s senior national football team, who took charge of Ajman following a series of experiences in the UAE Pro League.
The Gulf Football Union has appointed a Bahraini refereeing team to officiate the match, led by Ismail Al-Habib, assisted by Abdullah Yaqoub and Hussein Mohammed, with Mohammed Jamal as the fourth official. Their compatriot Mohammed Ibrahim will serve as the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), assisted by Qatari official Saud Ahmed.
