In a strategic move aimed at bolstering the team's stability and retaining its core players, Al-Taawoun FC, under the leadership of Chairman Bader bin Hassan Al-Ghannam, announced the completion of two significant signings to strengthen the first team squad. The first step involved extending Basem Al-Arini's contract for two more seasons, with an option for the club to renew for an additional season, thus ensuring the continued presence of a key player in the team's lineup.
In parallel, the administration successfully secured the goalkeeper position by signing goalkeeper Abdulrahman Al-Sunaidi to a professional contract extending for a season and a half, with an option to renew for another season. These signings come at a crucial stage of the season, reflecting the administration's vision of building a well-rounded team capable of competing strongly in the Saudi Professional League and fulfilling the aspirations of its fans.
General context and importance of the move for Al-Taawoun Club
Al-Taawoun, nicknamed "The Sugar of Qassim," is known for being one of the most organized and administratively stable clubs in Saudi Arabia. These moves in the transfer and contract renewal market are part of the club's policy to maintain its core structure while strengthening it with promising talent. Securing the services of players like Al-Arini and signing a goalkeeper like Al-Sunaidi gives the coaching staff, led by their manager, more options and enhances the squad's depth, which is crucial given the intense competition in the Saudi Professional League this season, which has become significantly more competitive after the arrival of several international stars.
Expected impact on the team's performance in the Roshan League
Al-Taawoun currently sits fifth in the Roshan League standings with 39 points, a strong position that puts them firmly in contention for Asian Champions League qualification. This positive news is sure to boost the morale of both the players and fans ahead of their upcoming match against Al-Fayha, who are currently twelfth with 23 points, in Matchday 23. This game is seen as an opportunity for Al-Taawoun to solidify their place in the top four, and securing stability within the squad through these new contracts is crucial for achieving their goals by the end of the season. Investing in local players and securing their future with the club is fundamental to the sustainable success of any team aspiring to compete for titles.
