Al Ahly fans are still hoping for an exceptional decision to keep the team in the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Professional League.
Some of these supporters were Yemenis who activated the decision to increase the number of clubs, which was officially approved by the Football Association, to be activated from next season, instead of being implemented as planned from the 2023/2024 season.
In fact, speeding up the implementation of the decision to increase the number of clubs will not help Al Ahli in any way. The decision taken by the Football Association calls for increasing the number of clubs in the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Professional League to 18 instead of 16 through a special mechanism, with the relegation of two teams from the Professional Cup League Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the rise of 4 teams from the first division.
Based on this mechanism, the two last and penultimate positions in the professional league, namely Al-Hazm and Al-Ahly, are eliminated in order, and therefore Al-Faysali only benefits from the decision, while Al-Ahly remains in the minor leagues. first degree.
On the other hand, Al Ahly is currently in a crisis with its foreign professional players, whose contracts with the club are still valid, and their participation in the first division will be very difficult, especially if these players play for their country’s national teams.
At the forefront of these players, the Macedonian Aleski, who has one more season left on his contract, plays a key role in the national team of his country and will by all means seek a safe exit in order to maintain his position in the national team of his country. Omar Al Soma also has a season left on his contract as his contract expires on June 30, 2023, although there is a consensus among Ahly for Al Soma to leave, especially after his last levels with the team.
Danclair and Bradrich have a season left on their contract with Al Ahli, and their departure will also be inevitable. Player Abdul Rahman Gharib is left with a dilemma as his contract expires in 2025 and offers from all local clubs, especially the big ones, Al Ittihad, Al Hilal and Al Nasr, especially in light of the player’s desire keep his position in the national team and participation in the next World Cup in Qatar will not achieve his game. In the first division, this is the goal, so his departure too will be inevitable, whether on loan or by selling the rest of the contract, although the loan is closest to repaying it in case the team re-enters the professional league.
According to the information, all Al Ahly players who want to leave the Al Ahly team after relegation prefer to stay in Jeddah, given the stability of the family.
