LONDON: Al-Hilal fired head coach Leonardo Jardim on Monday, just 48 hours after the Saudi champions lost 4-0 to Al-Ahly of Egypt in the FIFA Club World Cup, with Argentine Ramon Diaz returning to the club for a second spell.
The delayed FIFA Club World Cup 2021 finished on Saturday with Chelsea defeating Palmeiras 2-1 in Abu Dhabi to be crowned world champions for the first time, and with Al-Ahly of Egypt finishing third after defeating Saudi’s Al-Hilal 4-0.
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s first ever Alpine skier Fayik Abdi on Sunday afternoon completed his historic participation in the giant slalom competition at the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
RIYADH: Fayik Abdi, who is representing Saudi Arabia in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, has completed his training in preparation for his historic participation in the Alpine Skiing competition on Sunday. Abdi will compete in the Giant Slalom ski competition, which kicks off at 5 a.m. local time, and is the first Saudi and Gulf athlete to participate in the Winter Olympics since its inception in 1924. He qualified for the Olympics in December, after achieving an average of 131.03 points over five of his best-scored races, a record time. Since his arrival in Beijing on Feb. 3, the Saudi skier has continued his training regularly, led by his coaches Patrice Lucas and Daniel Sanz, in preparation for the competition, a statement on Saudi Press Agency said on Friday.
Saturday’s “Arab Classico” between AL-Hilal and Al-Ahly might be a pleasant and exciting bonus for football fans in the region, but it presents something of a headache for the coaches — especially for Al-Hilal coach Leonardo Jardim, whose Saudi champions are suddenly looking at an unforgiving fixture list.
RIYADH: Mexico City is set to host the third round of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on Saturday, with fans returning to fill the grandstands and 22 drivers set to go flat out on the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez track after two rounds of night-time racing at the Diriyah E-Prix in Saudi Arabia last month.
The likely runners for the $35.1 million Saudi Cup meeting on Feb. 25 and 26 have been announced, with horses from 16 racing nations set to compete in Riyadh.
Al-Hilal are still digesting their narrow loss to Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup and preparing for a huge showdown with fellow Arab giants Al-Ahly of Egypt in Saturday third-place play-off, but they will be keeping more than one eye on events back home. That is because of the huge top-of-the-table clash between Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr in Jeddah on Friday. It is the biggest game of the season so far and Al-Hilal, and surely most neutral fans who want the drama of a genuine title race, want their local rivals Al-Nassr to win.
