The team also participated in a friendly tournament in January, where they faced tough competition and continued to sharpen their skills.
In a recent friendly match against Al Rayyan, Umm Salal secured a 3-2 victory. However, they suffered a defeat against Al Gharafa with three unanswered goals, highlighting areas for improvement.
