Al-Hilal secured a thrilling 3-1 victory over their traditional rivals Al-Ittihad in the match held at the Jewel Stadium last night, as part of the 15th round of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Professional Cup League.

The match witnessed a remarkable performance by Al-Hilal players, who scored three goals through their star Salem Al-Dawsari in the 23rd minute, Brazilian Michel in the 45+2 minute, and substitute Moussa Marega in the 89th minute. Al-Ittihad’s only goal was scored by Abdulrahman Al-Aboud in the 67th minute.

Al-Hilal’s coach, Razvan Lucescu, said in the post-match press conference: “We delivered a great performance against a strong opponent. The players executed my plans excellently and deserved the win.”

He added: “This victory strengthens our position at the top of the standings, but we focus on each match individually and strive to maintain our winning streak.”

With this win, Al-Hilal raised their tally to 35 points at the top of the standings, while Al-Ittihad’s tally remained at 21 points in fifth place.

It is worth noting that this was the 43rd encounter between the two teams in the league, with Al-Hilal achieving 19 victories compared to 14 for Al-Ittihad and 10 draws.

The last match between the two teams in the league also ended with Al-Hilal’s victory by a single goal scored by Salman Al-Faraj in the 28th round of the previous season.

Al-Hilal is preparing for another important match against the Uzbek team AGMK in the fifth round of the group stage of the AFC Champions League next Tuesday, while Al-Ittihad will play against its counterpart Al-Raed on Friday in the 16th round of the league.

In a surprising move that has excited football fans worldwide, Chelsea Football Club announced the appointment of Argentine Mauricio Pochettino as the new head coach, replacing German Thomas Tuchel who was sacked in early September. This appointment comes after a long search by the London club for the right manager to lead their ambitious project in the coming seasons.

Pochettino, 41, has previously coached Argentine club Boca Juniors, Spanish clubs Espanyol and Racing Santander, before achieving great success with Tottenham Hotspur in England between 2014 and 2019, leading them to the UEFA Champions League final in the 2018-2019 season.

In his first statement after the appointment, Pochettino said: “I am very happy to join this great club and can’t wait to start working with the team. I know the challenges and responsibilities, but I am confident in our ability to achieve success together.”

The Argentine coach has an impressive record in the English Premier League, with a win rate of 47.3% in 293 matches as Tottenham’s head coach. Pochettino is also known for his attacking style of play and ability to develop young players.

This appointment comes at a critical time for Chelsea, who have been struggling with poor results at the start of the current season under interim coach Frank Lampard, currently sitting 10th in the league table after 8 rounds.

Chelsea fans hope that Pochettino will succeed in getting the team back on the winning track and competing for domestic and European titles, especially with the significant financial support the club receives from its new owner Todd Boehly.

According to reports, Pochettino has signed a 3-year contract with Chelsea, with an option to extend, and a release clause of £10 million. The Argentine coach will officially begin his duties after the current international break.

The big question remains: Will Mauricio Pochettino succeed in leading Chelsea to trophy-winning heights and restoring the team to its rightful place among Europe’s elite? Or will the challenges prove too great for the young Argentine manager’s ambitions? The coming days will reveal much about Chelsea’s future with Pochettino at the helm.

On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia celebrated Founding Day, which falls on February 22nd each year, commemorating the establishment of the first Saudi state by Imam Muhammad bin Saud in 1727, which lasted until 1818.

King Salman bin Abdulaziz expressed his pride in the history and symbols of the first Saudi state in a speech on this occasion, while Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman emphasized the depth of history and civilization of the Kingdom, congratulating the Saudi people on this occasion.

The celebrations, which lasted for several days, included fireworks displays in various regions of the Kingdom, as well as drone and military shows. Many regions and cities witnessed large popular celebrations.

Founding Day comes to affirm the close ties between citizens and leadership, according to statements by Saudi officials. This occasion was celebrated for the first time in 2022, after the Saudi monarch issued a royal decree to adopt February 22nd of each year as a day to commemorate the founding of the Saudi state.

This occasion is an opportunity to highlight the rich history of the Kingdom and its pivotal role in the region, as well as to affirm the continuity of the Saudi state over three centuries, since its establishment by Imam Muhammad bin Saud in mid-1727, corresponding to the second of the month of Sha’ban in 1139 AH.

A recent scientific study conducted by researchers at King Saud University’s College of Medicine revealed that even 15 minutes of daily physical activity can significantly impact overall health and longevity.

The researchers found that individuals who engage in moderate physical activity for 15 minutes daily, such as brisk walking or light household chores, have up to a 14% lower risk of premature death compared to those who remain completely sedentary.

Dr. Abdullah Al-Mahna, head of the research team, explained that “the results confirm that exercise is not limited to gyms or intense workouts, but even simple daily movement has a significant positive impact on health.”

The study included over 5,000 participants from various age groups in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, and lasted for two years. Researchers used movement-tracking devices to accurately measure physical activity levels.

This study comes within the framework of national efforts to promote healthy lifestyles, as the Ministry of Health recently launched the “15 Minutes Changes Your Life” campaign to encourage citizens to engage in daily physical activity.

Previous studies had linked sedentary behavior to increased risks of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, but this Saudi study is the first of its kind in the Kingdom to demonstrate the benefits of even simple movement.

It’s worth noting that the World Health Organization recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week, but this Saudi study shows that even less than that can make a difference.

These findings are good news for those who struggle with time constraints or difficulty adhering to intensive exercise programs, as they prove that good health requires only a little regular daily movement.

Saudi entity, a closed joint-stock company operating in real estate development and investment, recorded operating losses of 494.9 million Saudi riyals in 2023, compared to losses of 17.1 million riyals in the previous year.

This was stated in the company’s annual report issued by the Saudi stock exchange “Tadawul,” which attributed the significant increase in losses to a decline in real estate sales and the recording of an impairment allowance on the company’s investments.

The report indicated that the company’s total revenues reached 147.6 million riyals in 2023, compared to 62.8 million riyals in 2022, an increase of 135%. The loss per share was 0.70 riyals, compared to a loss of 0.02 riyals in 2022.

The company’s CEO, Eng. Abdullah bin Mohammed Al-Abdulkarim, said that “the financial results for 2023 reflect the impact of the economic challenges faced by the company, especially in light of the Corona pandemic and its repercussions on the real estate sector.”

Al-Abdulkarim added that the company is working to implement a strategic plan aimed at improving its financial performance and increasing its profitability in the coming period, noting that the company has a promising portfolio of real estate projects that will contribute to achieving its goals.

It is worth noting that Saudi Entity was established in 1976, and its headquarters is located in the city of Riyadh. The company is active in developing and managing commercial, residential, and industrial real estate projects, in addition to investing in securities and real estate.
