Who Documents Glory? The President of Al-Shabab Opens Fire on the Documentation Mechanism

In a pivotal moment preceding the announcement of the results from the Championships Documentation Committee, Mohammed Al-Munajim, the president of Al-Shabab Club, broke his silence. His words were not merely an opinion but a public slap at the method of selecting those who decide the fate of clubs' histories. Questions are multiplying: Is the memory of Saudi football managed so easily?

Is it logical to assign documentation to a vote from general assemblies? Most of its members have not achieved noteworthy accomplishments. Al-Munajim hints that many of those clubs are managed by temporary councils that lack sufficient knowledge of the heritage of Saudi sports.

Al-Munajim warns that documentation decisions could be subject to whims rather than being based on clear scientific numbers and criteria. He calls for the involvement of specialists and experts to ensure that documentation is built on solid foundations rather than fleeting whims.

Al-Munajim emphasizes that Al-Shabab Club does not need to defend itself, as it is one of the most decorated teams both domestically and internationally. He stressed that those who set the documentation criteria bear responsibility to history, as today's documentation will be studied tomorrow.

Al-Munajim calls for a clear announcement of the documentation mechanism, even if the results do not please everyone, as the standard should be justice, not favoritism. He sees Al-Shabab as one of the top four teams in league championships and the second club in international titles... and these are facts that cannot be erased.

He concludes by urging not to hand over the fate of football history to voices that may lean towards emotions instead of documented truth.
