Under the slogan “Everyone is a winner.” The fans of Al Wahda and Sharjah teams shared the encouraging performance points and initiatives before and during the meeting that was held at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium, which hosted the confrontation, yesterday evening. She threw the final, fulfilled the expectations that preceded the confrontation, and did not stop throughout the two halves of the meeting in supporting her players in order to achieve victory.
The fans excelled in encouraging their players in wonderful ways, as the supporters of each team raised the “Tifo” before the start of the match, and chanted the names of the players and demanded them to strive to obtain the title, while it was remarkable that the “King” fans used the Latin methods of encouragement by throwing scraps and paper tapes on the field. As a result, the start of the match was postponed for nearly six minutes to clean the pitch under the direction of the match referee.
The fans of the Sharjah team filled the seats assigned to their team half an hour before the start of the start whistle, while Al-Wahda supporters continued to flock even after the start, and many Al-Annabi fans waited for long periods to enter the stadium, although the team's fans association distributed tickets to early fans.
It was remarkable in the final match the presence of a group of supporters of other teams, as some fans of Al Ain and Shabab Al Ahli attended and each raised their team’s shawls bearing their club’s logo, and an entire stadium was allocated for families and women, while the Football Association hired volunteers in the Al Ain Club Public Affairs Office to carry out organizational processes.
The start of the match was preceded by a light show in which the stadium floor was transformed into a giant screen, showing the story of a football player’s journey from childhood to professionalism, and fireworks were launched over a full minute that turned the night of the city of Al Ain into day, and the fans were keen to document it through the cameras of their mobile phones.
