Nile United's win of the "Winter Champion" title is an unprecedented achievement in its modern history in Emirati football, reflecting the success of its coach, Italian legend Andrea Pirlo, in his first season on the pitches of the UAE. United awaits an important match against the Al-Wahda team, as part of the quarter-final stage of the UAE President's Cup, scheduled to be held tomorrow at Zayed bin Sultan Stadium in Al Ain. The United team won the honorary title of "Winter Champion" of the First Division, benefiting from the draw of Fujairah with its host Majd without goals, the day before yesterday, in the 14th and final round of the first stage of the tournament. In turn, the team's supervisor, former international footballer Mohammed Qasim, told "Al-Ittihad": "Winning the "Winter Champion" title is a great morale boost to secure one of the two qualifying tickets for the Professional League." United raised its balance to 27 points, while Fujairah missed two valuable points and settled at 25 points in second place.
