Egyptian player Ahmed Hassan Koka, star of Al-Ettifaq Saudi club, believes that Al-Nassr is the favorite to win the Roshn Saudi League title this season.

Koka said in a phone interview with journalist Medhat Shalaby on the program "Ya Masa' Al Anwar" on MBC Masr 2: "I am currently in Greece and attended the Real Madrid vs. Olympiacos Champions League match. I will be returning to Cairo within the next few hours."

Al-Ittifaq star confirmed that the Roshn League is experiencing a tremendous boom, pointing out the presence of players with extensive European experience, foremost among them the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, which has elevated the strength of the league and the level of competition.

He added: "Every team in the Roshn League includes players of the highest level, and the competition has changed completely compared to previous years."

He continued: "Al-Nassr is a very strong team and is steadily moving towards the title, delivering impressive performances, while Al-Hilal still has a great chance to compete. Additionally, both Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli have opportunities to win the championship."

Koka spoke about his start with Al-Ittifaq, explaining that it wasn't the best, but he began to feel significant improvement over time. He said, "My start wasn't the best, but things are gradually getting better. God willing, I will be ready to perform stronger once the competition resumes regularly next January, especially since the upcoming period will see breaks due to international commitments."
