Serbian player Miroslav Savic returned to the pitch after a long injury absence, featuring in his team’s last match against Al-Faisaly in the Saudi Professional League. This appearance came after more than 5 months on the sidelines, raising questions about his physical readiness and impact on team performance.

Savic, who plays as a defensive midfielder, suffered a serious knee injury during his team’s match against Al-Hilal in the 12th round of last season. Since then, he underwent surgery and an intensive rehabilitation program to regain his fitness.

In a statement, the coach said: “I’m happy with Savic’s return, he’s a key player in our squad. We need his experience and leadership in midfield.”

During his time with his current team, Savic has scored 3 goals and provided 5 assists in 45 matches. His successful pass completion rate is 88%, making him one of the best players in the league in terms of accuracy and positioning.

Timeline of Savic’s return:
– January 2023: Injured in match against Al-Hilal
– February 2023: Underwent successful surgery
– March – June 2023: Began rehabilitation program
– July 2023: Returned to team training
– August 2023: Featured in match against Al-Faisaly

Savic’s return represents a strong addition to his team as they aim for positive results in the new season. His experience and defensive abilities will be crucial in facing competitive teams. The question remains about his ability to maintain his physical fitness and avoid future injuries.

Social media platforms in Saudi Arabia witnessed widespread controversy in recent days following the circulation of a video showing a woman named “Umm Turki” making provocative statements against the people of the Tuwaiq region.

The widely circulated video depicted Umm Turki speaking in a harsh tone and using offensive language towards the residents of the mentioned region. These statements sparked a wave of mixed reactions among social media users.

The relevant authorities in the Kingdom issued an official statement confirming that they are closely monitoring the matter and taking necessary actions according to the systems and instructions in place.

In a statement, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Media said: “The Kingdom respects freedom of expression, but at the same time rejects any speech that incites hatred or undermines the dignity of others. We are working to ensure everyone’s commitment to the values and principles upon which our societies are built.”

Statistics published by specialized social media analysis websites showed that the hashtag #UmmTurkiInsultsTuwaiqPeople topped the list of most discussed topics in the Kingdom, with over 50,000 related tweets in just 24 hours.

On the other hand, activists launched counter hashtags to defend the Tuwaiq region and its heritage, such as #TuwaiqPrideOfSaudiArabia and #TuwaiqPeopleAreHonorable, which also received significant interaction from users.

In related context, several prominent figures in the Kingdom issued statements condemning the offensive remarks and affirming the unity and cohesion of the Saudi people. One of these figures said in a media statement: “Such statements do not reflect our values and the teachings of our true religion, which calls for good morals and respect for others.”

In conclusion, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of being aware of the danger of words and their impact on others, especially in the age of social media where messages spread at lightning speed. It also highlights the need to promote a culture of dialogue and respect for differences among the sons and daughters of the same nation.

Social media platforms in Saudi Arabia witnessed significant interaction with the hashtag “#معسر_فاتوره_رقم256ب3872ب1” (Delinquent Bill Number 256B3872B1), which topped the list of most discussed topics in recent days. The hashtag highlights the story of an elderly man facing financial difficulties and struggling to pay an electricity bill.

The story originated from a viral video showing an elderly man discussing his struggles with accumulating bills, particularly an electricity bill numbered 256B3872B1, which caused him significant psychological and financial stress. In the video, the man explained that he suffers from health issues and is unable to work, making it impossible for him to meet his financial obligations.

The story sparked widespread sympathy among Saudi citizens, with numerous supportive comments calling on relevant authorities to intervene and assist the elderly man. Many urged direct financial aid for him.

No official entity has yet commented on the issue, neither the Ministry of Electricity nor the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. The public has expressed their views solely through social media platforms.

This story sheds light on the struggles of vulnerable groups in Saudi society and raises questions about how such humanitarian cases are handled by authorities and the extent of the social system’s ability to provide necessary support to those in dire need.

Some comments shared under the hashtag include:
– “A very touching story, we hope the concerned authorities intervene to help this poor man” – @محمد_العتيبي
– “It’s our duty as a society to help those in need, especially the elderly” – @فاطمة_المطيري
– “We call for activating the role of charitable organizations in such cases” – @عبدالعزيز_الشمري

This story highlights the importance of social solidarity and the need for collaborative efforts between society and government entities to support the most needy, especially amid the challenging economic conditions the world is facing.

We hope this humanitarian story receives the necessary attention from officials, and appropriate measures are taken to provide the elderly man with the required assistance, alleviating his suffering and enabling him to live with dignity.

Professor Saleh Al-Maghmasi, Chairman of Al-Fateh Club’s Board of Directors, submitted his resignation following the conclusion of the current sports season. This decision was announced during the club’s regular general assembly meeting held this evening.

In his address to the assembly, Al-Maghmasi stated that his resignation came after a successful tenure of four consecutive years at the helm of the club’s administration. During this period, the first team achieved significant accomplishments, most notably qualifying for the AFC Champions League twice.

Al-Maghmasi added, “I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to this journey, including players, administrators, and fans. I wish the club continued progress and success in the future.”

The resignation comes at a time when the club is preparing to participate in the upcoming AFC Champions League and compete for the title of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Professional Cup League.

Al-Maghmasi assumed the presidency of Al-Fateh Club in 2019, succeeding Professor Mubarak Al-Dosari. He successfully led the team to achieve numerous accomplishments at both local and continental levels.

A temporary committee will be formed to manage the club’s affairs until a new president is elected in the coming period, in accordance with the regulations and systems in place for Saudi clubs.

The Saudi media industry has witnessed an unprecedented boom in recent years, with the General Authority for Audiovisual Media launching ambitious initiatives to enhance local content and develop the sector. Authority Chairman Badr bin Abdullah Al-Shibili affirmed that the Authority is working diligently to achieve a qualitative leap in the media industry in the Kingdom.

The Authority’s most prominent initiatives include the launch of the “Shahid” streaming platform, which aims to support Saudi and Arab content, with over 3 million subscribers since its launch two years ago. The Authority also launched the “Bab” program to support and develop the Saudi film industry, funding 11 long feature films with a total value of 100 million riyals.

In its efforts to regulate the sector, the Authority has issued over 100 licenses to media content production and distribution companies, and organized numerous film events and festivals, such as the Red Sea International Film Festival, which featured over 130 films from 67 countries.

Al-Shibili praised these achievements, affirming that the Authority is steadily progressing towards achieving the goals of Vision 2030 in the media sector, and that the future will witness more qualitative initiatives and projects that will contribute to enhancing the Kingdom’s position as a regional and global center for the media industry.
