The Appeals Committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation has resolved the controversy surrounding Al-Nassr's complaint regarding the legality of Rafea Al-Ruwaili's participation, the goalkeeper of Al-Orouba, by officially rejecting it. Although the committee accepted the appeal on a formal basis, based on the provisions of the regulations, it rejected it on the merits, affirming the validity of the decision made by the Disciplinary and Ethics Committee.

The committee's decision included upholding the previous ruling against Al-Nassr, along with confiscating the protest fees, which means that the result of the match between the two teams in the Roshen Saudi League will not be altered. Al-Nassr's management had submitted an official complaint following the match, demanding that the goalkeeper's participation be deemed illegal and awarded the three points.

The legality clarified that the committee based its decision on the absence of a clear breach of the regulations, which led to the result being upheld as it is. The decision came as a shock to Al-Nassr fans, who had hoped to win the protest to strengthen their team's position in the competition.

Reactions to the ruling varied between supporters of the committee's decision, considering it in line with the regulations, and skeptics questioning the details of the case, amid calls to reconsider some regulations to ensure their clarity in the future. Al-Nassr's management is studying its legal options following this rejection, with anticipation for its official stance in the coming hours.

Thus, the page on the controversy surrounding Al-Ruwaili's participation is turned, while Al-Nassr focuses its efforts on its league journey, amid a fierce race for the top in a season filled with exciting events.
