Abdullah Al-Majed, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Al-Nasr Club Company, issued a firm and strongly worded message on Sunday evening, stressing his complete and absolute commitment to defending the rights of the capital club and all its members, and not allowing any transgressions that may harm the entity or its reputation.
Al-Majed stated in a post on his official X account (formerly Twitter): "To whom it may concern: I am responsible before God for the interests of Al-Nassr Club and for protecting the rights of its members, and I have not and will not compromise on this, no matter the cost." These words put an end to speculation and confirm the presence of a vigilant administrative leadership that prioritizes the club's interests above all else.
The Al-Nassr president added, in a statement that garnered widespread support from the club's fans: "All violations and abuses have been documented by the legal department, and the necessary measures were taken at the time to protect the club's rights both on and off the field." This statement indicates concrete action, not just a threat, as the legal department has already begun activating its tools to protect the club from targeted media campaigns.
Context of events and administrative actions
Al-Majed's statement did not come out of nowhere; rather, it complements an official stance recently adopted by the club. Al-Nassr Club had previously issued an official statement condemning what it described as "systematic campaigns of distortion, doubt, and incitement of public opinion." This alignment between official statements and the president's remarks demonstrates a unified administrative strategy aimed at establishing administrative stability and shielding the first football team from any external noise that might affect its performance in domestic and continental competitions.
The importance of administrative stability at the current stage
This firm stance is particularly important given the major transformations taking place in Saudi sports. Al-Nassr, boasting a roster of world-class stars, including Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo, is no longer just a local club; it has become a global brand and a focus of international media attention. Therefore, any insults or malicious rumors not only affect the club domestically but could also damage its global image, necessitating decisive intervention from the highest levels of management.
Expected impact of legal decisions
This firm legal move is expected to help ease media tensions and stabilize the sporting scene surrounding the club. As Al-Majed stated, protecting the club's rights "on and off the field" means providing a healthy environment for players and coaching staff to focus solely on their performance, away from media squabbles. This stance also sends a reassuring message to Al-Nassr fans that their club's rights are in safe hands and that the administration will not stand idly by in the face of any attempt to destabilize the team.
In conclusion, this legal and administrative approach is an essential part of the professional system that Saudi clubs seek to implement, where the law becomes the deciding factor in dealing with violations, thus enhancing the value of sportsmanship and fair competition, away from personal or institutional abuses.
