Sunday 08-02-2026
The Thmanyah TV network, the exclusive broadcaster of the Saudi Roshan League, issued an official apology to Al-Nassr Club and its fans following a circulated clip that included an offense against the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The channel clarified that the apology came after the widespread controversy sparked by a clip from the program "Open for Broadcast," which was aired in the latest episode and circulated on social media platforms.

The channel's management affirmed its full respect for Al-Nassr Club and its large fan base, stressing that the circulated clip does not reflect the network's direction or its media values.

Thamanyah channel promptly removed the offensive segment from the episode and took urgent internal measures involving review and editing teams to prevent such errors from recurring.

In an additional step, the channel decided to temporarily suspend the airing of the program until the content is re-evaluated and its compliance with professional standards is ensured.

The network emphasized in its concluding statement that its mission continues to provide a balanced Saudi sports experience that befits the scale and popularity of the Roshan League, affirming its appreciation for the audience's feedback and concern.
