As preparations for its crunch encounter with MC Algers draws nearer, FC Fassell quest for a place in this year’s CAF Champions League is driven by good preparation and to maintain match fitness and experience with top clubs around the globe.
The LFA 1st Division Champions recently held Tanzania heavyweight Simba SC to a 1-1 draw, a match with so many positives to take into the game with MC Algers.
FC Fassell will test its muscles against Al-Shorta SC on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 in another friendly match as preparations continues ahead of the match with MC Algers of Algeria.
A match against Al-Shorta SC will undoubtedly improve the experience of the squad. Al-Shorta is Iraqi Stars League Champions and is one of the most successful clubs in Iraq, having won the Iraqi Stars League eight times and it is scheduled to play in the Asian Champions League on September 15th too, like FC Fassell.
Like the saying goes, early preparation brings good result. FC Fassell strategy could definitely pay off due to the level of preparations so far. Locking horns with the big guns and keeping the players match fit ahead of such crucial duel is very positive from a sporting perspective and could yield the dividend at SKD on September 20, 2025.
