The Portuguese coach, Sérgio Conceição, surprised Al-Ittihad fans with an unusual decision ahead of the anticipated match against Al-Wehda in the AFC Champions League for the elite.

The head coach decided to open the training sessions to the fans, in a move aimed at creating an enthusiastic atmosphere within the team before the important continental match.

This move by Conceição came as a desire to boost the players' morale, especially after recent results that did not meet the team's aspirations.

Sources confirmed that the coach considers the support of the fans a decisive factor that can give the players a strong boost to regain confidence and achieve victory.

Conceição hopes that this atmosphere will contribute to enhancing the team's mental readiness and motivate the players to deliver a different performance in the upcoming match.

The federation is preparing for a strong match against Al-Wahda, as part of its quest to continue its successful journey in the Asian championship.

This step comes after a painful defeat suffered by the Union in the league against Neom with a score of four goals to three, which increased the pressure on the coaching staff.

Supporters of "Al-Ameed" are anticipating the impact of this decision on the team's performance, amidst hopes that the fans' support will become a turning point that restores balance to the team in the upcoming phase.
