Preview: Rimal Welcome Emerald SC to Jebel Ali

Rimal Al-Sahra SC look to extend a perfect start to the 2025/26 UAE Division 3 season when they host Emerald SC at the Jebel Ali Sports Complex.

With two wins from two already banked-a 1-0 victory away at Forte Virtus FC II on the opening day and a commanding 3-2 home triumph against The Football Circle-the newly founded club have built early momentum in their inaugural campaign.

Emerald SC will present a sterner test, but Rimal's early form suggests they have the quality to make it three wins in three and further stake their claim as contenders in the division.

A victory would keep the side perfectly positioned as the season develops, with three points from three already guaranteeing a strong platform from which to build.

The Jebel Ali Sports Complex has already proven a fortress in these early weeks, and another home win would send a clear message of the club's ambitions in 2025/26.
