Marked for Mohamed Al Naqbi

The Al Ahli Post

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match14 Nov 2026

A 2-goal lead gone for Al Ahli

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Baniyas kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Al Ahli will be asked about the last half hour all week.

A brace, and Omar Suqrat takes the afternoon — 8.57

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Omar Suqrat provided it, and the 8.57 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Mohamed Al Naqbi: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Al Ahli have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Al Ahli

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

Match14 Nov 2026

No clean sheets in sight for Al Ahli

5 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

The terraces16 Nov 2026

One of their own: Omar Suqrat

He is 18 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Mahmoud Ismail 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.

Match14 Nov 2026

Al Ahli and Baniyas take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad16 Nov 2026

International break empties Al Ahli

4 call-ups is a compliment to the squad and a headache for the man running it. He will get them back in a fortnight, tired, in various states of repair.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad26 Oct 2026

Sultan Hassan keeps Al Ahli in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match24 Oct 2026

5 matches without a win for Al Ahli

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Al Ahli are no longer polite ones.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Al Ahli count the cost of losing Faisal Yaqoob

30 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market26 Oct 2026

Daniel Pedrozo has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Al Ahli can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Match24 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Al Ahli against Al Wasl

2‑3 to Al Wasl, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Ninety minutes of Rashid Nader at his very best

Marked 8.69. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Al Ahli.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Al Ahli

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

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

A masterclass from Sultan Nader

Marked 8.01 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 2‑3 defeat, delivered by Hassan Al Shamsi to a room that had heard them before.

In brief
