A knee injury of the worst kind for Sultan Al-Qahtani
98 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Al-Mojzel lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match24 Oct 2026
Al-Mojzel taken apart
0‑3 to Damac, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Ibrahim Al-Dosari 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-Mojzel can pretend not to have heard.
Match24 Oct 2026
The wait goes on for Al-Mojzel
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
Match24 Oct 2026
The goals have deserted Al-Mojzel
4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Al-Mojzel can tell you which week it ends in.

Faisal Al-Qahtani 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.

The manager makes an example of Faisal Al-Qahtani
“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.

Doors closed at Al-Mojzel
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

A first senior shirt for Hamad Al-Shehri
Every debut is a small story about the future: Hamad Al-Shehri, 15 years old, off the academy pitches and into the first team. The parents in the stand will keep the programme.
