ABU DHABI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 23rd Nov, 2020) Al Jazira FC defender Khalifa Al Hammadi has committed his future to the club, signing a new five-year contract with the Pride of Abu Dhabi.

We have a great squad of players and I am pleased to be a part of this and I’m looking forward to achieving so much more over the coming years and repaying the faith shown in me by the club and fans.

Al Jazira FC’s Sporting Director, Mads Davidsen, added: "Khalifa is one of the best young players in the UAE and he continues to develop and show his ability on a weekly basis. He is a key part of Marcel’s plans for the team and it is great that he is committed to the club as we look to a bright future with further success and silverware.

"Khalifa has shown the pathway of hard work and dedication from rising through the academy to first team and he continues to set a great example to the rest of the young players at the club."
