Additionally, daily training sessions have been prioritized, with coaching staff focusing on enhancing physical fitness and rectifying technical errors observed in previous matches.
Notable among the decisions made during this break was Al Ain Club’s extension of Argentine coach Hernan Crespo’s contract, following his successful tenure with the team, including securing a spot in the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League. The move reflects the club’s commitment to maintaining positive momentum and fostering stability.
Similarly, Sharjah Club’s board discussed the status of injured players, efforts by medical staff in their rehabilitation, and the team’s ongoing training regimen.

Al-Nasr Club, led by Dutch coach Alfred Schroeder, concentrated on physical and goalkeeper training, while other clubs such as Al-Wasl, Baniyas, Hatta, Al-Emirates, Al-Jazira, Al-Bataeh, and Al-Wahda emphasized physical fitness exercises under Serbian coach Goran.
In a bid to enhance club operations, the Board of Directors of the Kalba Football Association discussed plans for the first team’s future and closely monitored daily activities under coach Ghazi Al-Shammari, appointed to replace Iranian coach Farhad Majidi.
