Maílson keeps Al-Taawoun in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Wages eat 758% of everything Al-Taawoun earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad5 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Roger Martínez

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Roger Martínez, and the manager let it.

Match3 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Al-Taawoun against Al-Hilal

0‑1 to Al-Hilal, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The terraces5 Oct 2026

The spotlight tightens on Roger Martínez

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Fahad Al-Rashidi loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Fahad Al-Rashidi. Al-Taawoun will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Al-Taawoun say no — this time

The offer from Al-Qadisiyah for Bassam Al-Hurayji was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Hamoud Bassam 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 The request is on a desk at Al-Taawoun, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

774% of the income goes out in wages at Al-Taawoun

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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Mohammed Al-Dossary

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match5 Sep 2026

Al-Taawoun and Al-Shabab cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Al-Shabab came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Bassam Al-Hurayji knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Al-Taawoun, and both men came out saying it was fine.
