Santos: The army will fight in the Rabat final.

The coach of the Royal Army Club, Alexander Santos, emphasized the importance of forgetting the loss by one goal to nil against the South African team Mamelodi Sundowns, today Sunday in Pretoria, in the first leg of the 2025-2026 African Champions League final, and preparing for the "return match in Rabat with strong support from our fans."

Santos stressed, during the press conference that followed the match, the necessity of maintaining balance and focus in the return leg on the 24th of this month, considering that the support of the military fans in Rabat will be a key factor in winning the continental title.

The coach explained that today's match was not easy due to some tactical details that lacked balance, noting that his team was closer to scoring in the first half, especially between the twentieth and fortieth minutes thanks to intense offensive pressure.

He acknowledged, on the other hand, several mistakes, such as leaving some spaces that the opposing team managed to exploit optimally.

He added that "our playing philosophy is clear and relies on initiative, but the strength in such major occasions lies in maintaining balance throughout the match."

He expressed confidence in his team's ability to recover and come back strongly in the return match in Rabat, emphasizing the importance of physical and mental readiness in the upcoming clash.

He concluded that the challenge will be to show the true strength and competitive character of the Royal Army Club on their home ground, affirming the role of fan support in pushing the team towards the podium.
