The Ohod Chronicle

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market18 Jan 2027

Abdullah Al-Zoari 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 The request is on a desk at Ohod, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Ohod lose Awadh Khamis

151 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match16 Jan 2027

Still nobody has beaten Ohod

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Ohod

Diego Ríos 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.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Kaká in the eights

A performance of 8.80 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Ohod lose Ahmed Al-Shammari

55 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad18 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Kattê

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

Match16 Jan 2027

Kaká the difference as Ohod beat Al-Batin

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Kaká. 1‑0 against Al-Batin, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Nobody could get near Abdullah Al-Qahtani

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The Al-Orobah Post

11 Jan 2027
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Mohammed Suhluli runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Ahmed Al-Juwaid 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-Orobah this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match9 Jan 2027

Al-Orobah see off Al-Batin

Three points for Al-Orobah, 2‑1 the final word against Al-Batin in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad11 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Jassim Al-Ashban

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

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Simy in the eights

A performance of 8.50 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market11 Jan 2027

Ohod are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Al-Orobah will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Anass Najah has to sit this one out

A booking nobody needed, on a night the game was already won. Al-Orobah lose a player for the most avoidable reason there is.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Jhon Labastidas finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Al-Orobah have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Market11 Jan 2027

The Ahmed Al-Juwaid question follows Al-Orobah around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Ahmed Al-Juwaid’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Player ratings4 Jan 2027

Nobody could get near Mohammed Suhluli

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Leandro Caballero says Al-Orobah went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market4 Jan 2027

Al-Saudi Al-Watani come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Al-Orobah did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Al-Orobah

Simy 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.

Match2 Jan 2027

Al-Orobah come up short against Damac

Damac left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Hamed Al-Maghati 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.

Market4 Jan 2027

Ohod watching Omar Abdullah

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Al-Orobah have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Player ratings4 Jan 2027

One of those days for Darwin González

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.01, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Costly mistake from Jassim Al-Ashban

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Jassim Al-Ashban knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market21 Dec 2026

Ziyad Al-Hunaiti hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Al-Orobah can pretend not to have heard.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Fahad Al-Munaif keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Al-Orobah may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Tempers go at Al-Orobah

Ahmed Al-Juwaid 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.

Match19 Dec 2026

Simy’s goal not enough for Al-Orobah

Simy scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Al-Riyadh, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Simy in the eights

A performance of 8.07 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad21 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Mohammad Al-Amri

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

Match12 Dec 2026

16 unbeaten for Al-Orobah

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 16 matches without defeat is a foundation Al-Orobah did not have in the autumn.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Simy 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-Orobah this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match12 Dec 2026

Mohammed Suhluli sends Al-Orobah past Al-Diriyah

It finished 2‑1, and it was Mohammed Suhluli’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Al-Orobah.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

One of those days for Mohammed Suhluli

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

A masterclass from Darwin González

Marked 8.34 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Abdulrahman Hindi 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.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Abdulrahman Hindi gives it away

There was no pressure on him and nowhere he had to be. Al-Orobah lost a goal to a decision that took half a second and will be discussed all week.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Aboubacar Doumbia runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Mohammed Suhluli is off the mark for Al-Orobah

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match31 Oct 2026

10 unbeaten for Al-Orobah

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 10 matches without defeat is a foundation Al-Orobah did not have in the autumn.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Simy 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-Orobah this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

866% of the income goes out in wages at Al-Orobah

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

The manager makes an example of Santiago Maidana

“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.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

The afternoon belonged to Anass Najah

A mark of 7.68, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Ahmed Al-Juwaid shuts the door

Defensive actions: 15, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Simy leaves them behind him

Shots: 13. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Match31 Oct 2026

Al-Orobah and Al-Jeel cancel each other out

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