Famous Journalist Criticizes Al-Shabab Management Over Documentation Project

In a moment of fury on air, journalist Walid Al-Faraj lost his usual calm, attacking Fares Al-Alyani, the representative of Al-Shabab Club in the Documentation Committee, after the latter described the committee’s results as biased and fraudulent.

The attack was not fleeting but carried a strong message: “Enough distorting the history of Saudi sports.” It was as if Al-Faraj was raising the flag to defend the integrity of sports in the face of a wave of skepticism and anger from Al-Shabab fans.

Walid Al-Faraj harshly criticized the Al-Shabab representative, Fares Al-Alyani, after his statements against the championship documentation committee. Al-Alyani accused the committee of favoring the clubs Al-Hilal, Al-Nasr, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Ahli at the expense of other clubs.

The Al-Shabab representative considered the exclusion of cup championships as a distortion of the history of his prestigious club and a clear injustice. Al-Faraj stated: “No one has the right to describe a national project as fraudulent, nor to play with a policy of sabotage.”

Al-Faraj emphasized that the history of sports in the Kingdom is long and rich, and cannot be summarized in a moment of anger.
