On (June 1, 2026), the Saudi Professional League website published a press statement from which I quote some information and instructions regarding the programming and scheduling of the next season's rounds and matches, which stated (that the Saudi Roshn League season will start on August 13, 2026 and conclude on May 29, 2027, and that the preparation of the calendar took into account 80 days allocated for international breaks and the national team and the Kingdom's hosting of the 2027 Asian Cup, and that the League had 103 days available to hold league rounds, which required precise distribution of rounds taking into account the regularity of the competition, fair competition, and rest periods available to clubs, especially in stages that witness overlap between local matches and external competitions, and that the League worked in coordination with clubs and relevant authorities to build a calendar that achieves the best possible balance between competitive loads among clubs participating in external tournaments and the requirements of league regularity and fair competition..) End of the Saudi Professional League statement, which I claim contains important information and binding instructions for the League's Competitions Committee to achieve the slogan adopted and raised by the Saudi Professional League, which is the application of equality and fair competition among all clubs on the ground, not through a statement on the website.

Everyone does not expect the League's Competitions Committee to turn its decisions into mere echoes and reactions to fabricated attacks and systematic campaigns with impure goals and motives far from the public interest that may repeat the programming and scheduling errors of last season, as happened, for example, when the match between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr was programmed and scheduled after the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup final, and also after the Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr match was placed after the Asian Elite Championship final, in addition to scheduling easy matches for Al-Nassr at the beginning of the competition and also programming the last matches at home at the end of the competition in a coincidence and step that raised many questions and question marks about this strange programming and amazing coincidence: is it serving the competition or contradicting fair competition?!

In any case, Paragraph (4) of Article (3) of the Saudi Professional League's bylaws states that one of the League's goals is (achieving sports justice, integrity, and transparency among all member clubs participating in the Saudi League as well as in all dealings and tasks of the League), end of the paragraph and article, which imposes on the President, members, and committees of the Professional League the achievement of justice, integrity, and transparency with (all) clubs without exception or discrimination between one club and another.

Therefore, today everyone—and I mean here everyone: clubs, media, and fans—awaits and calls upon the League's Competitions Committee to correct previous mistakes, pay attention to the image and reputation of the competition, and work to achieve fair competition, especially after some international websites and foreign newspapers circulated statements by some foreign players that there are exceptions and facilities for one club alone without other clubs, without going into details because what is obvious certainly needs no clarification!

The last line

Perhaps it is rare in the history of the World Cup that logic imposes itself in World Cup matches and that the four best teams in the world reach the semi-finals without any surprises, even with the disparity in the levels of these four teams, and most technicians agree that the best performing among these four teams is France, and the least effective is Argentina, and between them are a Spain team glowing with its elements and an England team renewed in its personality, making it difficult to predict who will be champion next Sunday! A point at the end of the line.
