Squad7 Sep 2026

Hassan Al-Dawsari breaks a bone — 64 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 64 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Window shuts: 18 in, 4 out at Damac

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 18 arrived, 4 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Jonathan Okita slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Jonathan Okita is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Damac take the armband off Kewin

It will be explained as a change for the team and it may even be one. Nobody who has worn one believes that, and neither does the man who has just had it taken away.

Looking ahead7 Sep 2026

Tariq Abdullah faces his old club

Al-Ta'ee next, and one man in the Damac dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market7 Sep 2026

The Yakou Meïté question follows Damac around

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

Squad7 Sep 2026

Damac give Khaled Al-Sumairi the armband

A decision that decides nothing on the pitch and everything in the room. The manager has said, without saying it, whose voice he wants heard when his own is not there.

Market7 Sep 2026

Still no ink between Damac and Khalid Abduljawad

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Damac, another week without a signature from Khalid Abduljawad.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Moataz Al-Baqawi 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 Damac, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match22 Aug 2026

Mohammad Alsalkhadi breaks Al-Riyadh hearts

Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Mohammad Alsalkhadi scored in the 87th minute, Al-Riyadh had already begun thinking about the journey home, and Damac took the lot.

Market24 Aug 2026

Ahmed Al-Rashidi asks to leave Damac

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Jonathan Okita beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match22 Aug 2026

Damac see off Al-Riyadh

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

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Mohammad Alsalkhadi was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.25. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Appearance number 100 for Mohammad Alsalkhadi

100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Damac

Ahmed Omar and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Sami Al-Hassan, on a 2‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Squad24 Aug 2026

No place for Khalid Abduljawad in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Damac are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
