Shabab Al Ahli crowned champions of UAE Pro League, Ajman rout Khorfakkan
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Shabab Al Ahli Club, on Sunday attended the crowning of the club as champions of the Pro League for the 2024-2025 season — marking the ninth title in the club's history. The trophy was secured following the team's triumph against Al Jazira Club during the match held at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium in the capital, Abu Dhabi. Sheikh Mohammed congratulated the club's board members, coaching and administrative staff, and players on their achievement, praising the team's remarkable performance throughout the season, which saw them finishing with four titles in all. He also commended the players for displaying exemplary sportsmanship, which he described as a key factor in the team's success. With this victory, Shabab Al Ahli concludes an exceptional season during which they also won the UAE President's Cup for the eleventh time, as well as the UAE Super Cup, and the UAE-Qatar Challenge Shield, besides the Pro League. The occasion saw Sheikh Mohammed joining Shabab Al Ahli players and the club's coaching and administrative staff for commemorative photos. Team members expressed their heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to Sheikh Mohammed for his constant support, encouragement, and positive appraisal of their performances — factors, they said, had played a vital role in their remarkably successful season. The presentation ceremony was also attended by several dignitaries including Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and CEO of Adnoc; Abdulla Nasser Al Jneibi UAE Pro League Chairman, First Vice President of the UAE Football Association; and Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Member of Shabab Al Ahli's Board of Directors. Meanwhile, Ajman wrapped up their season in style with a dominant 4-1 win over Khorfakkan at the Rashid Bin Saeed Stadium. After a goalless first half, the match burst into life shortly after the restart. Ajman took the lead just two minutes into the second half when Waleed Azaro rose high to head home and make it 1-0. Khorfakkan responded almost immediately, with Aylton Filipe firing in the equaliser in the 51st minute to bring the match level. But from there, Ajman took full control. Ismail Moumene turned the momentum firmly in their favor with a well-timed volley in the 72nd minute to restore the lead. Just three minutes later, he added his second and Ajman's third, finishing calmly after breaking through one-on-one. Junior Flemmings added the final touch in the 79th minute with a sharp counterattack, slotting in Ajman's fourth goal to seal a convincing win. Khorfakkan had no response in the closing stages, and Ajman comfortably saw out the result. The win lifts Ajman to 31 points, finishing the league season in 10th place. Khorfakkan remain on 33 points and settle for 8th in the final standings.
