Today, the General Secretariat of the Football Association calls for an extraordinary general assembly meeting. The secretariat has not disclosed the content, topics, or agenda of the meeting. Despite its importance, it comes amid difficult conditions for Saudi football, which forced the chairman of the board to submit his resignation. Football

The (extraordinary) general assembly meeting of the Football Association today is being held remotely. The reason for holding it remotely is unclear! It is a procedure only used in specific circumstances that prevent an in-person meeting. An in-person meeting and direct contact among members is more effective and more likely to yield valuable results that achieve the meeting's objective.

Brazil, which captivated people's eyes with the art and beauty of football for decades and won the World Cup five times, is now in a sorry state. It has lost its identity and appeal, and now exits World Cup competitions as easily as other teams that do not know the path to the top.

Al-Qadsiah striker Julián Quiñones entered the World Cup scorers list with four goals scored against South Africa, Ecuador, the Czech Republic, and then England, before his national team Mexico exited the tournament losing 2-3 to England. Al-Qadsiah discovered the striker before his global fame and snatched him at a very reasonable price; today his contract value has at least quadrupled.

Brazilian player and Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior failed significantly in the World Cup and was one of the reasons for his national team's exit from the tournament. He could not present himself as one of the best attacking players in the world like Messi, Mbappé, Haaland, or even the English duo Harry Kane and Bellingham. He appeared in more than one match as a player unable to pass, dribble, create, or score.

The cancellation of the red card for American player Folarin Balogun embarrassed FIFA before the world, as it undermined the integrity of the competition, after FIFA responded to the US president's request to cancel the card and allow him to play.

Despite all the criticism, the idea of having 48 teams in the World Cup has proven successful and increased the enjoyment of football. Fans around the globe have enjoyed beautiful days with the round ball, full of excitement and suspense.
