Market2 Nov 2026

Jairo Pérez puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Al-Shoulla, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Wael Abdullah: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Al-Shoulla have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Al-Shoulla

Mohammed Abdulrahman was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Jairo Pérez falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

223% of the income goes out in wages at Al-Shoulla

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Yakubu Abbas gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match12 Sep 2026

Nowhere to hide for Al-Shoulla

0‑6 against Al-Diriyah, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Match9 Sep 2026

The small margins put Al-Shoulla out

Out, 3‑3 to Al-Nahda, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Match9 Sep 2026

A 2-goal lead gone for Al-Shoulla

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Al-Nahda kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Al-Shoulla will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Ammar Al-Ammar keeps Al-Shoulla in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Up for the corner, and Ahmed Al-Anbar delivers — 7.44

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Ahmed Al-Anbar scored, was marked 7.44, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Up for the corner, and Wael Abdullah delivers — 7.21

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Wael Abdullah scored, was marked 7.21, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Juan Gómez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Al-Shoulla this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match12 Sep 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Al-Shoulla and Al-Diriyah in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Al-Shoulla training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nidhal Ben Salem is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
