National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Al Ahed or Al Nejmeh that keep their silverware dream alive.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's have faith in that this will be an enthusiastic match!
