DUBAI: Brazilian defender Roger Ibanez has extended his contract with reigning Asian champions Al-Ahli until the summer of 2030, the club announced on Sunday. Ibanez signed his new contract on Sunday at Al-Ahli’s headquarters in Jeddah, ending the negotiations that had started before the center back departed for the US to represent his country at the 2026 World Cup. Talks had been put on hold during the tournament, but resumed after the player returned from his post-World Cup holidays, which had followed Brazil’s exit at the hands of Norway in the Round of 16.
