Al-Tadamon has secured its place in next season's Premier League after a 1-1 draw with Al-Nasr. The result at Al-Sadaqa and Al-Salam Stadium propelled the Farwaniya club to the top of the relegation group standings with 22 points.
Meanwhile, the fight to avoid relegation intensifies between Al-Nasr and Al-Shabab. Al-Nasr sits in second place with 20 points, while Al-Shabab is third with 18 points after a surprising 2-1 loss to the already relegated Al-Jahra. The final round will determine which of these two teams joins Al-Jahra in the First Division.
In the upcoming final round, Al-Tadamon will face Al-Shabab, and Al-Nasr will play Al-Jahra. Al-Shabab must defeat Al-Tadamon and hope Al-Nasr loses to Al-Jahra to survive. Al-Nasr, however, only needs a single point to guarantee its Premier League status for next season.
Al-Tadamon goalkeeper Abdulrahman Ajaj celebrated the team's achievement, crediting the players and coaching staff for their hard work. Addressing speculation about a potential move to Al-Arabi, Ajaj stated his commitment to giving his best for Al-Tadamon's supporters and helping the club achieve its future ambitions.
The clubโs supporters deserve nothing less than his best and that he hopes to help achieve their ambitions in the future.
