Al -Wahda faces Ajman with the memories of 20 years “rain” .. and a new 10 shirt

Al -Wahda team will be at 18:05 pm today as a guest of Ajman at the end of the opening round of the ADNOC Professional League in its 17th edition, as he meets at the same time Khor Fakkan with his guest Al -Jazeera, and Al -Wasl receives his counterpart Bani Yas at 20:30 pm.

The confrontation of Al -Wahda and Ajman will witness the first appearance of the No. 10 shirt with a new player in the ranks of “Al -Annabi”, after the last legends and stars of the golden generation of Emirati football, Ismail Matar for more than 20 years.

Al-Wahda Club Company announced on the eighth of this month, as part of the summer “Mercato” deals, that it had contracted with the Serbian Dosan Tadic, and gave him the number 10 shirt that was associated with the name of Ismail Matar until his retirement at the end of the 2023-2024 season.

Matar is one of the most prominent symbols of Emirati football, as the fans of Al -Annabi and the team remember him as a model for continuous giving, and the last of the golden generation players who led the “white” to crown the first title in the Gulf Cup in 2007, after he kidnapped the lights in the World Cup 2003 by choosing the best player in the tournament.

Many of the stars who previously joined the unit have already gave up wearing the number 10 in respect of rain, most notably the captain of the Chilean team Jorge Valdivia, who was famous for this number with his country and his club before joining the unit.

Al -Annabi is betting in his opening match led by his new Portuguese coach, Jose Morais, on his new deals, which included next to Tadic from Fenerbahce, the Turkish defender Sasha Evkovic, and the Argentine coming from Bani Yas and the Russian dommy with free transfer deals, in addition to Caio Canido from Al Wasl.

They will join Jamaican Junior, and Moroccan Walid Azaru, who are continuing with “orange”.
