Despite the importance of the participation of our international stars with their clubs in the Doha Bank Stars League, as the first station to prepare them for the largest task, which is the continental supplement qualified for the World Cup 2026, whose matches will be held after less than two months from now, specifically 8 and 14 October next to Amman, then the Emirates, but half of our international players who fought the last camp with Al -Annabi in Austria are absent and did not participate in the first round of the league.

Perhaps the biggest absence in the first round was for the great Trinity consisting of Hassan Al -Haydous, Al -Maz Ali and Muhammad Montari, especially on the offensive side, where they represent the striking force of our team in the World Cup qualifiers, and if we added the absence of the narrator and Youssef Abdel -Razzaq, who are good attackers, we will find that the burgundy attack will suffer a lot in matches that are not alternative to winning to qualify.
