About Assim
My name is Assim Al-Marhuby and I was born on the 11th of July 1991, and I am 17 years old student from Muscat, Oman.
My favourite football club is FC Barcelona and I've been supporting them nearly all my life.
I have heard a lot of people playing Hattrick, but at first I really didn't know what it was, I couldn't find Oman in the list at
that time, but after some while I checked back and thought of registering and luckily I found Oman and I decided to name my team
Oman FC.
Early Years
I wanted to join Hattrick before a long time, let's say since summer 2005 but I join because I couldn't find Oman in the list at that time, I checked again a year later and I still couldn't find Oman, but luckily when I said I will just join in the U.A.E. league like the others, I found out that there was Oman and I was so happy and joined Hattrick right away.

History
The team has been playing in the II.2 division since the team was established and hasn't been promoted or relegated from it until today.
Season 31
Oman FC made it's debut in the Oman II.2 series but didn't start from the begining of the season but played the last 2 matches. This season was the first season Oman was introduced to Hattrick. I lost my 2 matches at that time, but luckily when the season ended, I ended up in the 6th position which I have a chance to stay in the II.2 if I won the qualification match, and the good thing is my opposition was a bot and easily beat it and stayed in the II.2.
Season 32
After much learning of how the game works, I tried to make my team strong enough so that I can compete in the II.2, but that wasn't an easy task, I kept on fighting but I ended up at 5th place, and I also won my qualification match, so I was still in the II.2, and I was also knocked out of the 3rd round in Ka'as Al-Soltan Qaboos (Cup).
Season 33
I have made various changes to my team, I worked so hard on my team and it finally payed off, I did very well, I bought some good players from the transfer market, and all of that helped me and my position was surprisingly 3rd this time, and I was also knocked out of the 3rd round of Ka'as Al-Soltan Qaboos (Cup).
Season 34
As usual, the team was kicked out of the 3rd round of the Ka'as Al-Soltan Qaboos (Cup), but after BAYERN OMAN promotion to
Al-Dawry Al-Omani, and Barca Saham's relegation, things became much easier than last season and I had lots of room to breathe and
ended up 2nd place in the II.2 with 12 wins in 14 league matches, with a defeat 0-2 at my stadium against GLACIER F.C., and a 2-2
draw at my stadium after a great comeback which my team were able to change the result after being 2 goals down to a 2-2
draw.
Oman FC's rank was 13 this season, which means that the team is the best 2nd placed team the II compared to the other 3 2nd
placed teams from II.1, II.3, and II.4.
The defence and attack was without a doubt strengthend compared to last season, Oman FC scored 70 unlike Season 33 where the club
only scored 45 goals, and the defence was so strong that only 7 goals could be scored (4 goals from GLACIER F.C.) unlike in the
previous season where 20 goals were conceded.
This season also saw the retirement of Gu Wah Chiu who decided to become a referee, and Roland Everts who became a Public
Relations Manager. They can both be visited in the club's Hall of Fame.
Season 35
This season had many good and bad stuffs at the same time. To start it out, Oman FC reached Round 4 of the Cup (Round of 16)
for the first time in the team's history, and then after drawing 2-2 at Sohar's Grand Stadium in the first match of the league
which meant that there was a big chance of winning the II.2 trophy, and things went good until Week 6 when Muscat Socceroos won
0-2 at my arena, even though I had more possession and dominated all the sectors, things were surprisingly wrong after this
match, and this match was also entered in Alltid Hattrick's surprising matches, after I fully deserved to win, but anything can
happen in football. So, after Week 7, I decided to relegate to the III series, so I sold all my players, and I fired all the
staff, and just kept on losing by walkovers, unfortunately, relegation was impossible when it it was Week 13, so that means Oman
FC will be staying for another season in the II.2. But at the end, it's a good thing, I'm extremely happy that I didn't relegate
because of the money that I got, so I bought new players, and I'm building my team again.
Season 36
It wasn't a great season despite ending up 2nd in the II.2 series with 3 undeserved draw means around 6 points lost for
nothing which is like losing 2 matches, but with 10 wins, 3 draws, and a loss, MANUTD4EVER was ahead of me at the top by 7 points
which is a very big difference. MANUTD4EVER won the first match 5-0 which is totally deserved, but in the second match, it ended
up 3-3 even after Oman FC were in the lead by 3 goals. But at the end, it was MANUTD4EVER who showed that he deserved to win the
series.
As for the cup, everything seemed to be fine until the round 4 match (round of 16) where F.C. Masqat was able to win the match by
penalties, this will remain as one of the saddest moments as the dream of reaching to the quarter-final has been scattered.
Oman FC's main goal is to win the series in the next season and promote to Al-Dawry Al-Omani, and of course I'll try to reach the
cup quarter-final for the first time in the team's history.
Memorable Matches
Here are some of the memorable matches that Oman FC have played.
Oman FC 1-0 GLACIER F.C.
Date: 09-16-2007 16.40
Match ID: 136806329
Arena: Camp Nou (Currently "Oman National Stadium")
Crowd: 17000
I was facing one of the strongest teams in my league, and winning even though by 1 goal means a lot as I took all 3 points from
this game, and all what made me win this match is the golden corner kick chance which was headed by Roland Everts (Can be seen in
the Hall Of Fame), and knowing that GLACIER's defense was strong, I just used my mind in playing 4-5-1 to stop GLACIER from
scoring and just hope I could get out without conceding and that's exactly what happened.
Oman FC 1-7 beltxis
Date: 02-20-2008 16.40
Match ID: 158884138
Arena: Pandemonium (Currently "Oman National Stadium")
Crowd: 6447
This match very memorable to Oman FC for two things, first of all because Oman FC is celebrating their first year in Hattrick,
and second of all is seeing beltxis come and play against you celebrating the first year.
beltxis are the record holders in the Venezuelan league and the Venezuelan cup and they are without a doubt Hattrick's greatest
team under the ownership of simontxo, they have also won the Hattrick Masters.
Sohar's Mighty Camels 2-2 Oman FC
Date: 03-02-2008 16.40
Match ID: 168129683
Arena: Sohar's Grand Stadium
Crowd: 35196
This is one of the most exciting matches that Oman FC have played, and it was the first match of the 5th season in the II.2
series, and what made it great is that Sohar's Mighty Camels who has been relegated is facing me, and what a hard match it
was.
After Oman FC had the 1-2 lead by half-time, Sohar equalized in the 70th minute to make both teams share the points.
Oman FC 4-6 F.C. Masqat
Date: 07-09-2008 16.40
Match ID: 187035842
Arena: Pandemonium (Currently "Oman National Stadium")
Crowd: 52492
This was Round 4 of the Cup for Season 6 and it's a memorable match after giving the 2nd placed team of Oman a very tough match,
and it was clear that F.C. Masqat was the strongest and the favourite to win the match, and even though after they managed to win
it, their victory came late until I hold them up in full time for 90 minutes after the score was 2-2, and then for another 30
minutes of extra-time, but until we reached the penalty, they managed to win the game.
Oman FC 3-3 MANUTD4EVER
Date: 08-31-2008 16.40
Match ID: 183607558
Arena: Pandemonium (Currently "Oman National Stadium")
Crowd: 61869
This is the 3rd head to head match between Oman FC and MANUTD4EVER, as we both met in the 3rd season in the cup but unfortunately
I was knocked out by losing 0-5 against MANUTD4EVER, and then the other match came in the 6th season, and I also lost 5-0 again,
but in the same season, I was very serious and I wanted to win it so badly, so I was fully prepared for this match and did as my
team scored 3 goals in a 2 minute time span to put my team in the lead in the 27th by 3 goals to nothing. Later on, MANUTD4EVER
pulled up a goal before half time, but what which wasn't expected is that MANUTD4EVER scored 2 late goals after that to make the
score 3-3 which should have been a deserved win for Oman FC, but at the end it's football and anything can happen.
Oman FC 4-0 BAYERN OMAN
Date: 09-16-2008 19.20
Match ID: 189514572
Arena: Pendolo Arena
Crowd: 3697
This is a friendly match played in Italy which was played for my 17th birthday, but even though my birthday was 2 months before
the match, the only problem was the cup and the tight schedule.
