It is worth noting that Saudi Arabia is under scrutiny not only as a host country for major sporting events, but also for political and social reasons that impact the level of athletic performance and the comfort of both players and fans. The prevalence of laws restricting freedom of expression, limiting women’s rights, and criminalizing sexual orientation are factors that affect the reputation of events held within its borders.
Despite all these challenges, Athletic Club remains present and ready to compete in the Spanish Super Cup being held in Saudi Arabia. The team awaits the semi-final match against Barcelona in Jeddah, followed, if successful, by the final in the coming days. The team is then scheduled to return to La Liga matches, continuing its exciting journey in the world of football.
