After a great start to the new season, with qualification to the second round of the Mohammed VI Cup, defending Bahraini champions Riffa SC can lift the first trophy of the campaign. The team takes on Manama Club in the Super Cup final, this Sunday, at the Khalifa Sports City Arena. The match is scheduled to kick off at 6.30 PM.
It could very well end up being a historic day for Bahraini football, since victory at the Super Cup final would mean that Riffa SC wins its first trophy under the partnership with BRAVE Combat Federation and KHK MMA.
This year’s Super Cup is different from previous editions, as Riffa SC won the double last season, capturing the League and the King’s Cup. As the Super Cup marks the meeting of the league champion against the Cup champion, Manama Club, who was the runner-up in the Bahrain Premier League, was called upon to fill that void.
Riffa SC has enjoyed a perfect start to the season, as the champions continued with their form from last season by qualifying to the second round of the Mohammed VI Cup, the Arab Champions Cup, with no goals conceded and scoring eight goals in three matches. The Super Cup provides a perfect chance for Riffa SC to carry the tradition of winning trophies into the new season.
The champions’ form is a direct result of the new partnership between Riffa SC and BRAVE Combat Federation and KHK MMA, which will serve to take the football club to new heights as it’s brand is tied to Bahrain’s biggest sports property around the world.
