Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, lauded Al Jazira after they won their third Arabian Gulf League title.
The Pride of Abu Dhabi were locked in an intense title race with Bani Yas until the final matchday, but a comfortable 3-1 win against Khor Fakkan ensured that they finished on top of the pack. They had previously bagged the championship in 2010/11 and 2016/17.
After the victory, Sheikh Mansour took to Twitter and posted, "My sincere congratulations to the fans of Al Jazira Club, the board of directors, the technical staff and the players, on the occasion of winning the Arabian Gulf League, and I hope that this coronation represents a promising start for the ‘Pride of Abu Dhabi’ to achieve more titles, in response to the great ambitions of the club and its fans.
