Amidst charged atmospheres and significant challenges, Air Force coach Ali Abdul Jabbar spoke confidently and clearly before the upcoming match against Zakho, scheduled for tomorrow evening at the Zakho Stadium in the climax of the 37th round of the Iraqi Stars League.

Abdul Jabbar emphasized in his statements that this match carries more than just three points, noting that the greater goal is to regain respect and prove character during one of the club's toughest periods in its recent seasons.

Abdul Jabbar said: "We fully realize that the season has not met the ambitions of our great fans, and we fully understand the extent of the public anger, but as a coaching staff and players, we refuse to give up, and we will fight in every remaining match to prove that the name Air Force cannot be reduced to just one season."

He pointed out that facing Zakho represents a special test for the team, affirming: "Zakho this season is a distinguished team, with technical stability and high quality, and has achieved great results, but we also have elements capable of responding on the field."

Abdul Jabbar described the match as one of those games that "reveals the players' true character," saying: "It is a match we play for dignity and retribution, and an opportunity for every player who wants to prove that he deserves to wear the jersey of this great club."

The Air Force coach did not hide the existence of difficulties, stating: "No one can deny that administrative problems have cast shadows over the team's path, and some contract choices were below standard, which has cost us dearly in the league race and continental competition."

However, he stressed that there is still time to present an honorable image by the end of the season, especially since the team is competing for a spot in the King Salman Clubs Cup.

In conclusion, Abdul Jabbar sent a special message to the fans: "We know very well that you are angry and waiting for real change, and we are with you. But we ask you to support the team in the remaining matches, because what is playing now is the name of the club, and we need to feel your support as you have always done."
