A statement issued by the Saudi Al-Nasr club on Thursday sparked significant debate among media professionals and legal experts. The statement revealed that the club is aware of moves by the Saudi Football Federation to change the rules for registering foreign players under 21 during the winter transfer window, explaining that if this happens, it will harm the fairness of competition and the rules of fair play. Social media saw unprecedented activity in two directions: one side believes that Al-Nasr defended its legitimate rights and issued a statement in good language, free from any offense to any party, while the other side considers it a dangerous statement and a language that requires a response and a stand from the federation.
