JAKARTA, 21st November, 2025 (WAM) -- Berengriff United from the UAE has reached the semifinals of the Asian Minifootball Clubs Championship in Jakarta after a strong 4–1 win today over Indonesia’s Jakarta Rangers in the quarterfinal knockout stage.
Despite conceding the first goal, the team made a big comeback with four goals scored by Ibrahim Adam, Mehdi Omri, Basem Al-Najjar, and Mohammed Ismail, showing confidence, composure, and real fighting spirit.
Tomorrow, Berengriff United will face Iran’s Setarijan Simakan in the semifinals. The other semifinal match will be between Lebanon’s Al-Ata’a and Indonesia’s Barber United.
