Troost-Ekong Secures First Trophy with Al Ahli in Dramatic Super Cup Win

William Troost-Ekong, the former Super Eagles captain, clinched his first trophy with Qatari side Al Ahli in the UAE-Qatar Super Cup after a thrilling penalty shootout win over Al Jazira. Although the 32-year-old defender did not feature in the final, his transfer from a Saudi club, Al Kholood, to Al Ahli on a contract running until June 2028 signifies a major milestone in his career.

Troost-Ekong, known for his experience in European and Middle Eastern football from stints at Watford and Fenerbahçe, is expected to bolster Al Ahli's defense and provide leadership. The victory at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium on Sunday night marked a promising start for Troost-Ekong at one of Qatar's top clubs, highlighting the club's ambition to compete strongly in the region.
