Market18 Jan 2027

The unthinkable, invoiced: Mohamed Juma sold

Emirates Club arrived with $7.4M and left with the best player in the building. The board will call it business; the queue at the ticket office will use other words.

The terraces18 Jan 2027

A $7.4M sale, and a town that did not want it

Mohamed Juma has gone, the accounts have $7.4M in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Atiq Esam due for a Al Shabab medical

Everything agreed with Al Wasl, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Karim El Eraki in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Al Shabab this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market18 Jan 2027

Al Nasr join the queue for Saeed Al Kamali

Add another name to the list: Al Nasr have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Saeed Al Kamali. The answer from Al Shabab has not changed — yet.

Market18 Jan 2027

Ibrahim Mabkhout moves on

Dibba pay $110.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Al Dhafra tell Al Shabab: Yousef Al-Mansoοri 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.

Match16 Jan 2027

Al Shabab see off Al Fujairah

Three points for Al Shabab, 1‑0 the final word against Al Fujairah in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad18 Jan 2027

A row about effort at Al Shabab

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

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match24 Oct 2026

No end in sight to Al Shabab's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Al Shabab has to find a result from somewhere.

Match24 Oct 2026

Al Shabab come up short against Baniyas

Baniyas left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Khalifa Mubarak 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.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Ismail Al Suwaidi left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Al Shabab

Hamad Saeed 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.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Hassan Saeed

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Hassan Saeed, and the manager let it.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Ahmed Al Bloushi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market26 Oct 2026

Stanley Nwabali linked with a move away

The name of Stanley Nwabali keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Al Shabab say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Mohammed Tahiri left out for tactical reasons at Al Shabab

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
