Sharjah 24: Ghanem Al Hajri, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Sports, expressed confidence
that Sharjah Club has what it takes to win the AFC Champions League 2 final. The team is set to
play against Singapore's Lion City FC this upcoming Sunday.

Al Hajri emphasized that Emirati clubs consistently show their ability to succeed in both regional
and international competitions due to the strong support they receive. He highlighted that Sharjah
Club’s organized approach and the skills of their players boost their chances of bringing home the
championship trophy from Singapore.

He also praised Shabab Al Ahli for their impressive performance this season, noting that their
success is a sign of progress in Emirati football.

The Sharjah team has already left for Singapore to prepare for the final match, which will take place

collaboration between public and private organizations. He acknowledged the recent successes,
especially in university sports, which have laid a strong foundation for developing talent that will
benefit future competitions.
