The Sharjah and Al Nasr teams play a heavy-duty confrontation, when they meet at 20:30 today at Rashid Stadium in Al-Ahly Youth Club in the semi-final round of the President's Cup, and both teams dream of winning and qualifying for the final match and meeting the winner in the Al-Ahly and Baniyas youth match.
Sharjah is seeking to continue competing for the ninth title in its history, after it was last won the Cup in 2003 - about 18 years ago - while the "General" is looking forward to the fifth title and the repetition of the scenario of his last victory in the championship in 2015.
The last meeting between the two teams in the sixth round of the Arab Gulf League this season ended with the victory of Sharjah 2-1, and "the king" became a knot for victory over him over the past periods, as he also beat him in the first round of the league last season 3-1 and they did not meet together in The second round due to the cancellation of the competition.
This match is of great importance for the two teams, especially for Sharjah, as he hopes that it will be the beginning of a new start for him to correct his path after a series of negative results and bleeding points.
Sharjah, who lost the Super Cup this season and also bid farewell to the Arabian Gulf Cup, is counting in this match to restore the team's attacking power led by trio Igor Kornado, Cayo Lucas and Wilton Suarez.
On the other hand, Al-Nassr is playing the game in ecstasy with its recent victory over Ajman in the league by three clean goals, which is its first victory under the leadership of its new Argentine coach Ramon Diaz, thus restoring the tone of the victories again.
The new Al-Nasr coach is seeking to achieve a new achievement for him and his team by leading him to qualify for the final match in this tournament, after his last loss by two goals against a goal against Ittihad Kalba in the first leg made it difficult for him to qualify for the final match in the Arabian Gulf Cup, during the second leg that will bring the two teams together next month .
The victory in this match depends on the duo Ryan Mendes and Diaa Al-Seba, in light of the decline in the level of striker Sebastian Tigali, who has been absent from embracing the net in the recent period.
