365 FC Hosts Nova Star SC in FA Cup Clash

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (Interstat) — A spot in the next round of the FA Cup is on the line Tuesday when 365 FC hosts Nova Star SC.

The match, scheduled for March 3, 2026, pits two sides with contrasting recent form against one another.

365 FC enters the contest with momentum, coming off a dramatic 3-2 road victory over Al Dhaid CSC on Feb. 10. The club has shown a potent attack, including a 3-0 home win over Madenat FC on Nov. 15, 2025.

In contrast, Nova Star SC seeks to convert draws into a win. Its most recent outing on Feb. 10 ended in a 1-1 stalemate with City at home. The club also played to a scoreless draw against Al Shahama FC on Nov. 14, 2025, highlighting a need for more decisive finishing.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the tightly contested match is projected to end in a 1-0 victory for the home side, 365 FC.

The matchup will test 365 FC’s offensive output against a Nova Star SC defense that has proven difficult to break down in recent outings. The visiting side will aim to disrupt 365 FC’s rhythm and find the goal-scoring touch that has eluded it in cup play.

Kickoff is set for Tuesday evening at 365 FC’s home ground. The winner will advance in the UAE’s premier domestic cup competition.
