The official spokesperson for the Ministry of Sports responded to the statements circulating on a page on the "X" platform, attributed to His Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal, the Minister of Sports, affirming that they are completely false.

The spokesperson clarified that Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal has not made any media statements as rumored, emphasizing that any official statement from him is exclusively issued through the approved official channels and platforms.

The ministry emphasized the need for accuracy and not to be swayed by rumors, urging the public and media to rely solely on official sources and not to circulate any unreliable statements.
