MUSCAT, NOV 10
Qurayat and Al Amerat will battle for the Oman Hockey League title on Wednesday at 8 pm, as the Oman Hockey Association (OHA) brings the curtain down on the 2026 hockey season at the Hockey Oman Complex in Al Amerat.
The evening will also feature the Jindal Hockey League final between Seeb and Al Ittihad at 5 pm.
The two competitions, held from November 1 to 11, brought together eight clubs — Seeb, Salalah, Qurayat, Al Suwaiq, Al Amerat, Sohar, Al Ittihad and Masirah — providing a competitive platform for players to showcase their skills and gain valuable match experience.
In the final stages, Seeb recorded an emphatic 7-0 victory over Masirah, while Al Ittihad defeated Al Suwaiq 3-1. Sohar and Qurayat shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw, while Al Amerat secured a convincing 3-0 win over Salalah.
The preliminary rounds witnessed several impressive performances, with Qurayat thrashing Al Suwaiq 17-0 and defeating Seeb 3-0. Al Amerat also demonstrated their title credentials with commanding victories over Masirah (7-0), Sohar (7-0) and Al Ittihad (6-0).
The competitions form part of OHA's broader efforts to strengthen domestic hockey, enhance technical standards and identify promising talents capable of representing the national teams.
Beyond the results, the leagues offer clubs opportunities to assess their tactical approaches, improve teamwork and develop players' technical and physical capabilities under competitive conditions.
The association continues to focus on improving coaching, officiating and organisational standards while expanding grassroots development programmes.
Youth development centres established at clubs in Al Batinah North have already contributed to identifying and nurturing emerging talents, with several players progressing to national teams.
Wednesday's finals are expected to provide a fitting conclusion to the competitions, highlighting the growing competitiveness of domestic hockey and the association's commitment to developing the sport in Oman.
