TDT | Manama Bahrain's national team sharpens up ahead of crucial World Cup qualifiers against Saudi Arabia and China Bahrain's national football team is intensifying preparations for two vital Asian World Cup qualifying matches, set to take place against Saudi Arabia (June 5) and China (June 10). The Red Falcons gathered for a focused training session on Saturday evening at Al Ahli Club Stadium, fine-tuning their tactics and fitness ahead of the ninth and tenth rounds of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Leadership Presence, Morale Boost His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Ali Al Khalifa, Vice President of the Bahrain Football Association, was on hand to oversee preparations and offer encouragement to both players and staff. His close support highlights the importance Bahrain places on these upcoming fixtures, which are critical steps in the team's journey to the World Cup. Injury Update Mohamed Marhoon rejoined the team following the conclusion of his commitments with Kuwait SC. After sustaining a blow to the cheekbone, Marhoon underwent medical assessments in the morning, which confirmed he was fit to continue with the squad.

Bahrain Basketball Establishes Legacy, Muharraq Takes Top Prize
TDT | Manama When it came down to the wire, Muharraq showed why they're a force to be reckoned with. The five-game thriller against Al Ahli didn't feature flashy stat lines or overwhelming dominance, but instead, showed patience, resilience, and championship poise. Winning 3–2, Muharraq proved steady under pressure, delivering when it mattered most. The fifth and decisive game was played in front of a packed Khalifa Sports City Hall on Saturday night, with thousands of fans turning the arena into a cauldron of noise. The occasion, from the play on court to the presentation ceremony, was as much a celebration of the game as it was of the winners. Final Fitting of the Rivalry There were no blowouts, no easy quarters. Just two of Bahrain's top sides going at it with poise and pride. The series, tied 2–2 going into Saturday, had already proven its worth — momentum swings, tight finishes, and standout moments across all four previous games. Muharraq leaned on their defensive structure and bench depth, weathering Al Ahli's perimeter shooting and transition offense. The final game saw both teams lock in early, but it was Muharraq's ability to stay composed in the clutch, especially in the final quarter, that tilted the outcome. From Ceremony to Legacy The evening's climax came with the trophy presentation, where His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Ali Al Khalifa, Vice President of the Bahrain Olympic Committee, awarded Muharraq players with gold medals, while Al Ahli received their silvers. In his remarks, Shaikh Isa praised both teams for delivering a high-calibre series that showed the growth of Bahraini basketball. 'Such finals highlight the level our basketball has reached, in play and in passion,' said Shaikh Isa. 'The energy in the stands and the competitiveness on the court are a sign that the sport here is thriving.' Also in attendance were Alaa Modara, President of the Bahrain Basketball Association, and Ammar Al Kutbi, Acting CEO of Zain Bahrain, whose sponsorship continues to elevate the league's profile. More Than a Game This title win adds another chapter to Muharraq's rich history, but the broader win is for the game itself. The five-match saga reaffirmed the league's credibility as a platform for high-level, locally nurtured basketball. The turnout, the noise, the tension all confirmed one thing: Bahrain's basketball culture is no longer just emerging, it's established. With the national league growing in reach and the Olympic Committee's ongoing support, Bahraini basketball looks set to continue its upward trajectory. The season may be over, but the message is clear — this is a league worth watching.
