Al Arabi achieved a convincing 3-0 victory over Al Wakrah (25:15, 25:21, 28:26) in a Qatari championship match, taking an important step in the battle for the top spots two rounds before the end of the season. The matches were temporarily suspended due to the conflict in the Middle East. Former Bulgaria youth international Borislav Georgiev, now a Qatar national team player, led the team's play despite not being fully recovered from a calf injury. He scored 3 points from blocks, which is indicative of his active participation at the net – an uncharacteristically high contribution in this element for a player in his position. Furthermore, he demonstrated stability from the service line, making only one error from 12 attempts.

Offensively, the most prolific scorer was Alex Nikolov's former teammate at Lube Civitanova, Iranian international Porya, with 24 points, while the other Iranian, Golzadeh – known from his performances at Grottazzolina alongside Georgi Tatarov and Iliya Petkov – added another 20 points to the victory.

The victory solidified Al Arabi's third place in the provisional standings, with the team remaining in close proximity to the top.
Until the end of the regular season, Al Arabi has two more matches, both against direct competitors at the top. This turns the final stretch into a direct battle for the distribution of positions.
With two victories, the team has a real chance to attack first place, as the point differences are minimal. The more probable scenario is finishing in the top 3, as one victory will almost certainly be enough to secure a position among the leading teams.
Given their current form and the stable play of key figures, including Georgiev's management of the game, Al Arabi enters the final matches with entirely realistic ambitions for a top-place finish.
