As part of community initiatives, engaging all segments of society and introducing the club, Al Bataeh Football Club organized a visit for the first team players to students of Al Bataeh Boys School, where Daniel Bessa and Saeed Jumaa met with the students, presented prizes and gifts, and participated in taking commemorative photos with them.

Al Bataeh coach Farhad Majidi said in the press conference before his team’s match against Ajman in the third round of the ADNOC Professional League: “Fortunately for us, the international players and the injured players joined us before the match, and we became more complete than the last match against Al Nasr, and this is good news for me and the technical staff. During the week, the players trained very well and with great enthusiasm. I hope it will be a good match against Ajman, and we will do everything necessary and make our effort to get the points.”

“The next match is very important against Ajman. We have 6 points and Ajman is strong at home. We believe that our team will be better step by step. We will go to Ajman and try to win and get all the points. I am with this strong group. We have 20 players at a good level, not 11 players. With the return of the internationals and the injured, this will make us stronger for the next match and the season in general,” said first team player Daniel Biisa

Al Bataeh returned from Dubai with a draw in the match against Al Nasr at Al Maktoum Stadium in the first leg of the first round of the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup. The elite team was able to impose a goalless draw on the Dean before the anticipated confrontation in the second leg. Al Bataeh entered the match in the absence of its most prominent players, Anatoli, Mohammed Jumaa, Pele, Maliki and Denny Borges. After the match and during the press conference, the team coach Farhad Majidi said that the match was good and one of the best matches we played in the absence of the four most important players, but the substitutes performed well and we were great at the organizational level. Al Nasr controlled the match, but we did not give them chances to score. Al Nasr shot 2 and we shot 3. I believe we can come out with a positive result in the second leg. It is noteworthy that the UAE Pro League awarded the team player Rashid Muhair the best player of the match award.

Al Bataeh finished its training in preparation for meeting Al Nasr in the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup, which will be held at Al Maktoum Stadium in Dubai at 5:55 in the first leg of the first round. The team’s coach, Farhad Majidi, led the training, which was held at Al Bataeh Club Stadium, in the absence of some players, some of whom were injured and others were due to joining the national team. Al Bataeh seeks to return from Dubai with a positive result before the second leg.

“Based on last week’s training, we had good training and fortunately the team is coming off a league win and we are in a good position. We will play against Al Nasr, who are playing well in the league. We will give the opportunity to the players who have played fewer minutes and we will try to control the match to stop Al Nasr’s strengths to pass this stage,” said our coach Farhad Majidi in the press conference introducing his team’s match against Al Nasr in the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup. “Our preparations for the match have been good over the past few days and our morale is high, especially after the last league win. We will go into the match with the aim of continuing the victories. We know the Al Nasr team has great potential and in return we have confidence in ourselves and in the available elements in the team. On a collective level, the team is trying to do its best and on a personal level I am trying to do my best to serve the team and give everything I have.”

Al Bataeh achieved an important victory over its guest, Khorfakkan, 2-1, at Khalid bin Mohammed Stadium, on Sunday, in the second round of the ADNOC Professional League. This is considered the first victory for Al Bataeh this season after losing to Al Ain in the first round. Khorfakkan also suffered its first defeat after winning over Al Jazira 3-2. Khorfakkan took the lead through Ailton Felipe with a pass from his teammate Saeed Mohammed in the 42nd minute, but the final minutes of the first half witnessed Al Bataeh’s equalizer for Al Bataeh 1-1 through Ulrich Sedwin after a corner kick from Uzbek Aziz Ganiev. Al Bataeh succeeded in scoring the winning goal through Gianluca Muniz, taking advantage of a pass from the brilliant Aziz (62). Al Bataeh completed the match from the 76th minute with 10 players after Sedwin Maliki was injured. Farhad Majidi had used up his 5 substitutions. Majidi said that this was not due to mismanagement by the technical staff, but I left a change for such cases and was surprised by Abdulaziz Heikal’s request for the change.
