Al Ain and Al Ahli hold last training session before Arabian Gulf Super Cup

The players of Al Ain and Al Ahli participated in their final training sessions ahead of tomorrow's Arabian Gulf Super Cup final, which is due to kick off at 7:25pm at Al Jazira's Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Khaled Al Nahyan, Chairman of Al Ain Club, attended Al Ain's training session along with several other Board Members and a congregation of Ainawi fans. The reigning League champions' training, conducted by head coach Jorge Fossati, lasted from 7:15-8:15pm in humid conditions. Media were permitted to attend the first fifteen minutes of training before the official session was closed to allow the team some space in their final stage of preparation for the big game.

Al Ahli also held their official training session on the immaculate Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium pitch, with their session running from 8:30-9:30pm and echoing a similar pattern to Al Ain's. Led by head coach Cosmin Olaroiu, a number of Al Ahli's Board of Directors were in attendance to watch the players go through their last paces ahead of tomorrow's crunch match.
