|April 21, 2025
Ammouta, who took over at Al Jazira in July following his remarkable run to the AFC Asian Cup tinal with Jordan, is no stranger to UAE football, having played for Sharjah during the 2OO02-2003 season

Al Jazira lifted the ADIB Cup for the second time in their history with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Shabab Al Ahli at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium on Saturday night, delivering a memorable performance in front of an electric crowd.
The Pride of Abu Dhabi, who first won the ADIB Cup title in the 2019-20 season, struck first in the 18th minute through midfield maestro Abdalla Ramadan, who unleashed a stunning long-range strike that left the goalkeeper no chance.
His rocket of a shot smashed into the back of the net, igniting celebrations among the Jazira faithful and giving his side a crucial early lead.
The goal spurred Ramadan’s fourth in the competition this season, contributing in strong run of form, with his last three goals notably coming against Shabab Al Ahli.
Shabab Al Ahli came out firing after the break and were rewarded for their pressure just five minutes into the second half.
