Fans and fans of the Castle Castle lived in a state of sadness, after it was confirmed that the first football team in Al -Riffa Club officially decreased to the ranks of the second division, after its defeat in its last match against the Al -Shabab team with a result of two goals without a response, in the match that brought the two teams “Monday” in the matches of round 22 and the last of the competitions of the 68th edition of the Nasser Bin Hamad Football League competition.
Al -Riffa Al Sharqi finished his season by occupying the penultimate 11th place with 20 points, two points behind the tenth -place team, the high team “23 points” and the ninth place in the Bahrain team “23 points”, which will run the league league stage this season.
This situation may be similar to the situation in which the fans of the Sharqia battalion lived in the 2012/2013 season when the team bid farewell to the competition to land to the second division of the second division in that season.
The decline in the eastern Riffa to the second division in the current season 2024/2025, accompanied by the Manama Club team, may be logical, as it was not the result of the moment, but rather an extension of the situation that the team suffered throughout the past three seasons, the team ended the 2021/2022 season in sixth place with 24 points. While the team suffered from a decline in the level and performance in the season 2022/2023, which ended in ninth place with 26 points, to run in that season the league league stage, where the team carried out its flogging when the teams of that stage were issued to ensure that it remains in the Nasser bin Hamad Premier League.
Last season 2023/2024 was not the most preferred season before.
This is the worst version of the team in this season, especially with the technical instability of it at the level of the coaches from last season until this season, in the side of the changes that the team witnessed at the level of professional players who did not constitute the real difference at the expense of the local player, in addition to the presence of a defect in the team’s system, especially at the level of the interconnection of the lines, and therefore the results that the team appeared throughout the league competition is a clear reflection of the situation that he was suffering from, His survival clearly to end up accompanying the Manama team and landing to the Presse League.
Al -Riffa East team will be required from now to work seriously to develop an integrated plan in order to return and rise the team to the adult league, and this will only happen in the event of everyone joins to work in the spirit of one team to achieve this goal in the next season.
