I am happy in the youth of Al-Ahly, and I meant that the team's place was not settled next season. And that negotiations are underway on financial matters and the place to host Ahli youth camp in preparation for the next season ».
"The camp will be the first point we want to define, and then we will move on to the names of the players who will not continue with the team, but certainly I will not talk about these names in public, because it is not logical to reveal the names before talking to the management of the club "There will be a determination of the priorities and needs of the team, and the names of those whose services will be laid off or will be loaned next season."

As for Al Ahli's loss in the 26th round of the Arabian Gulf Cup against Fujairah, he said: "I congratulate Fujairah on winning and ensuring a stay in the Gulf Arab League. I think they deserve it. I think the motivation for the Wolves was greater than the youth of Al-Ahli. "Although I talked to the players before the game about their importance and the need to win in our last match of the season, but it was difficult to continue to perform the same force after the great effort made by the team in the past games».
Masfer: I was reacting to criticism at the stadium
Fujairah coach Abdulla Mesfer confirmed that his response to the criticism he had been given for the past results was on the pitch that Fujairah would remain in the Gulf Arab League after beating Al Shabab 3-1 in the 26th round.
