On my responsibility; The world… a sublime message

SME-Written by: Ali Al-Basha
I represented the Al-Nasr Saudi (International) Club’s Asian trip to Tehran. To meet Persepolis (the old name of the Iranian capital) in the Champions League had more than one message, and on more than one level.
• On the one hand, it represents the first signs of restoring normal relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran. After a period of isolation that required holding matches between the elite and the club on neutral stadiums, it lost the competitive and popular spirit.
• It also represented a marketing message for tourist sports through Saudi professionalism in the presence of international stars, and we saw how
Iranian fans welcomed (Al-Alamy) with the presence of legendary player Cristiano Ronaldo.
• For example, the presence of the Iranian fans to welcome Al-Alamy and Ronaldo in particular: a sports revolution with its assertion that it is a lover of sports and stars, and that the Victory Mission made its way to the hotel with difficulty due to the recipients.
• Cristiano confirmed that he is an asset as an international ambassador in his Asian tours. By agreeing to receive a loving Iranian child; He cried when he saw him, and also when he received a painter with disabilities who gave him two drawings of him that she painted with her feet.
• Through the presence of (Al-Alamy) football in Tehran, football confirmed that it represents a global dove of peace among peoples, and the AFC was supposed to exploit it so that the fans could enjoy their idol, and the players would enjoy their encouragement.
• anyway; The Asian team did not succeed in holding the match without fans, and deprived the players of the pleasure of having nearly one hundred thousand spectators attend Azadi Stadium, and their encouragement of the stars to raise the technical and enthusiastic level.
• We must stress the need for the Continental Federation to keep pace with the lofty messages represented by the advanced vision of Saudi professionalism that transcends borders, and it could have seized the opportunity to lift the public ban, even for hours!
It remains to point out that attracting international stars exceeds the limits in Saudi professionalism. It is only the beginning and could spark a radical change. Not only in Asia, but even in the European source as a result of polarization.
