The Al-Njoom Post
Match9 Sep 2026
The small margins put Al-Njoom out
Out, 0‑3 to Al-Nassr, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Al-Njoom are taken apart by Al-Nassr — and the town wants answers
It finished 0-3. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

The boos come down from three sides
“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 7 of the 29 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.
Match12 Sep 2026
Al-Orobah take the points off Al-Njoom
Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Words at Al-Njoom training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rakan Al-Ghamdi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Fahad Al-Sultan steps up from the Al-Njoom academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Fahad Al-Sultan has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

No hiding place for Mohammed Al-Dowaish
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mohammed Al-Dowaish, and the manager let it.
Boardroom14 Sep 2026
Doors closed at Al-Njoom
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Tempers go at Al-Njoom
Basil Al-Hassan 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.
In brief
- Squad Safi Al-Zaqarty dropped after a run of poor form
- Player ratings Hamad Al-Ghamdi runs at them all day
- Market Al-Njoom and Hamad Al-Ghamdi are talking past each other
