Squad24 Aug 2026

The knee: Ryan Andrews out for 33 days

33 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Al Jazira lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market24 Aug 2026

Al Jazira turn down Wadi Degla for Bruno

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market24 Aug 2026

Al Jazira may not be able to give Malcom what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Malcom wants continental football; whether Al Jazira can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A muscle injury and 14 days out for Manuel Lanzini

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Al Jazira will quote 14 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Market24 Aug 2026

Al Jazira sell Nikola Vukić for $750.0K

Nikola Vukić has left for Al Ain in a $750.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Stojan Leković falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market17 Aug 2026

Najran come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Al Jazira did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Al Shaab tell Al Jazira: Khalid Al Naqbi is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Al Jazira

Ali Khaseif and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Al Jazira

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Stojan Leković was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Meshal Hamad gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market17 Aug 2026

Al Jazira put Oumar Traoré up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Oumar Traoré may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Not going: Bruno stays at Al Jazira

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Al-Ra'ed had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market10 Aug 2026

Al Wahda come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Al Jazira did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Iago will not be coming to Al Jazira

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Dibba is saying, and nobody at Al Jazira is enjoying the guessing.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Al Jazira

Willyan Rocha was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market10 Aug 2026

Al Jazira promote Ahmed Al Bloushi from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ahmed Al Bloushi has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

Al Jazira promote Hassan Al Menhali from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Hassan Al Menhali has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Milson

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Khalifa Al-Hammadi knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Al Jazira, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Kristjan Asllani walks taller at Al Jazira

His past walked in ahead of him. Players who have been where he has been get a hearing in a dressing room before they have earned one, and he has it for as long as his form does.
