Cordoba will face Al Khaldiya tomorrow, and the team will hold their final training session today ahead of the friendly clash. The match will take place at the Bahrain National Stadium.
Meanwhile, BFA president Shaikh Ali bin Khalifa Al Khalifa has affirmed that the BFA is fully committed to ensuring the success of Cordoba’s training camp in Bahrain.
Shaikh Ali praised the steps taken by Shaikh Nasser, noting that the federation’s board of directors supports his directives to make Bahrain a favorite destination to host various tournaments and camps.
Shaikh Ali pointed out that the training camp enhances the developmental goals of Bahraini football, especially as Cordoba will play two friendly matches against Al Khalidiya and Riffa.
There are great advantages to the direct contact of our teams with professional players from Europe, including gaining wider experience and greater expertise in technical and administrative areas, he said.
