The Al-Fayha Chronicle
Squad17 Aug 2026
Silvère Ganvoula takes the match ball home
5 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.
Match15 Aug 2026
Al-Fayha tear Ohod apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 6‑0 against Ohod, and it could have been more.
Market17 Aug 2026
Al-Fayha turn down Al-Nassr for Fashion Sakala
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Mubarak Al-Buainain turns down Al-Fayha
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Tempers go at Al-Fayha
Chris Smalling 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.

Ninety minutes of Silvère Ganvoula at his very best
Marked 10.00. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Al-Fayha.
Match15 Aug 2026
Silvère Ganvoula among the goals in a wild afternoon
6 goals in one match, Silvère Ganvoula on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Al-Fayha and Ohod.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Jason was on a different afternoon to everybody else
9.55. 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.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Al-Fayha sign off a bigger ground
A capacity of 557 on the plans. A decision judged twenty years from now, by people who were not in the room and will have opinions anyway.
In brief
- The dugout A satisfied Ali Al-Shehri
- Market No place for Ammar Al-Khaibari in the plan
- Squad Khalid Abduljawad is a square peg at Al-Fayha
