Al-Zawraa team continues its preparations in the capital Dushanbe before their anticipated match tomorrow, Wednesday, against their host team Istiklol Dushanbe from Tajikistan in the third round of the AFC Champions League 2.

The Al-Zawraa delegation arrived in Tajikistan after a grueling journey that lasted more than 17 hours, which included stops and delays in entry procedures, affecting the players' physical readiness before the match.

Upon arrival, the coaching staff led by Imad Al-Nahhas preferred to limit the training to a recovery session at the club's accommodation, which included light exercises in the gym and swimming pool aimed at alleviating fatigue and restoring physical activity.

The next day, Al-Zawraa intensified its preparations for a main training session at the match venue, where Al-Nahhas focused on harmony between the lines and organizing quick transitions, with specific instructions for the players to take advantage of offensive opportunities and improve their handling of set pieces.

Sources from within the team's delegation confirmed that the Egyptian coach showed great enthusiasm during training and spoke extensively with his players about the importance of achieving a positive result, emphasizing that winning against Istiklol Dushanbe would be the key to real competition for the top spot in Group D.
