The top 3 are at least 6 points clear of 4th place. So it looks like Al Ahli, Jazira or Al Ain for enxt years Club World Cup. Khaleej won the bottom of the table clash and move off the bottom in the process. Realistically, anyone form 4th place down could be relegated in this 22 game season.

Re: United Arab Emirates Football Thread 2008/09 According the the AFC website, the game is at Al Sharjah Club - must have been changed recently, as i'm sure it was previously in Abu Dhabi.

Re: United Arab Emirates Football Thread 2008/09 Time for an update!!

Re: United Arab Emirates Football Thread 2008/09 Beleaguered Sharjah sack coach SHARJAH: Sharjah Sports Club sacked their Portuguese coach Toni Oliveira on Tuesday after a string of poor results in both the AFC Champions League and the UAE League. An announcement on the club’s official website said “poor results" had led to the parting of ways. The club also said Iraqi trainer Abdul Qadir Abdul Wahab, sacked one month ago from fellow UAE League outfit Ajman, would be in charge until the end of this season. Oliveira joined Sharjah in February on a four-month contract after the club had showed the door to Tunisian Yousef Al Zwawi. http://www.the-afc.com/eng/articles/viewArticle.jsp_168690325.html
Re: United Arab Emirates Football Thread 2008/09 The UAE League is coming down to a nail biting finish in it's first season in the professional era. League leaders Al Ahli drew with 3rd place Al Ain today 2-2 allowing Al Jazira to close the gap to one point with two games remaining. At this point, Al Ahli look like taking the championship and the CWC Slot 15.05 Al Ahli - Al Dhafra 15.05 Al Jazira - Al Shabab 23.05 Al Shabab - Al Ahli 23.05 Ajman - Al Jazira At the bottom, Khaleej have taken the drop and look to be joined by Al Shaab. In other news, Sharjah dropped out of the Champions League hurting the Emirati's chances of having more allocations in the future.
