Head coach Marcel Koller and team captain Mohamed El Shenawy spoke to the media on Friday afternoon ahead of tomorrow’s match against Mexico’s Pachuca in the FIFA Challenger Cup at Stadium 974 in Doha.

Marcel Koller:
“Our players have the experience to face strong teams like Pachuca. With the support of our incredible fans, and our determination to give maximum effort, we aim to secure victory.”

“Despite the challenges of a packed schedule, our players have consistently shown readiness and focus. We’re determined not to return to Cairo empty-handed.”

El Shenawy:
“We are determined to make history by winning against Pachuca. Claiming a new global title would mean everything to us and our incredible fans, who came from everywhere to support us.”

“This is not our first time in Qatar, and we have wonderful memories here. The stadiums and organization are exceptional. Tomorrow, we will focus solely on winning against a strong opponent, as lifting the FIFA Challenger Cup would be an amazing achievement in our club’s history.”
