Hala Shehadeh, nicknamed "Championship Hunter", told "Emirates Today": "My beginnings as a coach in the UAE basket sector were not at the level of ambitions, before I gradually started leading the teams that I train to win titles, whether with Al-Ahly or Al-Shabab," Then the victory, and my taking on a new challenge in terms of training community teams led me in the middle of this month to win the Dubai Clubs and Communities Cup, which added to my record the 35th championship title in my career as a coach.

She explained: “I did not achieve any of the championships during my time with Sharjah women between 2001 and 2003, before I succeeded in my second leg with the Al-Ahly women between 2003 and 2004 in winning the first titles, and I followed six titles during the period during which I coached the Al-Shabab Ladies Club between two years. 2005 and 2011, most of them came in the league championship, before I went in 2012 to the victory with which I achieved the largest number of tournaments, which amounted to 27 titles, that was behind me being awarded the title of (championship hunter) among the Emirati basketball.

She added, "I look forward to the new women's season 2020-2021, to continue winning titles, especially as we in Al-Nasr aim to regain the women's league title, which we hardly lost last season in favor of Sharjah women."

Hala referred to the factors behind her successes in the Emirates basket, and said: “My long experience with the Syrian national team, which I retired with in 1990, and then moving with my husband and basketball coach Hammam Kirkukli to live in the Emirates, was behind the first building block in reaping achievements as a coach. My husband gave me a lot of experiences in the world of training ».

Hala Shehadeh:

- "With Al-Nasr, I aim to regain the league title, which we lost hardly against Sharjah, last season."

- "I retired from international football in 1990, and began a training journey with my husband, basketball coach Hammam Kirkukli."
