Al-Hilal Club Company expressed its strong condemnation of the irresponsible media statements issued by Al-Nasr Club's Portuguese coach, Jorge Jesus, in which he addressed Al-Hilal Club in a manner that included unacceptable slander that has no connection to reality.Jesus had confirmed in statements during the press conference that Al-Nasr does not have a policy of pressuring referees like Al-Hilal, in hints that were understood to be offensive to the blue club that he was coaching last season.The company explained that such statements are not consistent with the advanced stage that Saudi sports are experiencing, in light of the unprecedented renaissance that was achieved thanks to the great support and interest of the leadership in the Kingdom, which contributed to transforming Saudi football into an attractive destination for stars and fans from all over the world, with competitive levels comparable to major international tournaments.
Al Hilal Club Company confirmed that what was stated in these statements contradicts the values and principles on which the sport is based, and contradicts the goals established by FIFA, whose statute stipulates the neutrality of football, preserving its integrity, and protecting the unity of competition, away from any insults or attempts to stir up public opinion without justification.The company stressed its full confidence in the relevant sports authorities to take appropriate legal measures regarding these statements, as they constitute an unjustified insult not only to Al-Hilal Club, but to the Saudi sports project in general. She also indicated that she is in the process of submitting an official complaint to the relevant authorities, to take the necessary action regarding these violations, in a way that ensures the preservation of rights and the consolidation of the principles of justice and professionalism in the sports community.
