Al-Hilal files complaint to football federation regarding "Neves" incident

Al-Hilal have intensified their stance regarding the behavior of a section of the Al-Taawoun fans during their match, which saw collective offensive chants aimed at Rúben Neves.

Al-Hilal has firmly rejected what it described as unacceptable transgressions, asserting that such actions contradict the values and ethics that should govern sporting competitions.

The company emphasized that abuse towards players or their families goes beyond the limits of encouragement and competition, and cannot be justified regardless of the intensity of competition on the pitch.

Al-Hilal has emphasized that the humanitarian and personal circumstances of players must be respected, rejecting the exploitation of feelings of loss and turning them into a means of provocation or insults during matches.

Al-Hilal has filed an official complaint to the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, requesting that the incident be handled according to the applicable regulations and laws, in order to protect the rights of the club and its players.

The company expressed its confidence in the Saudi Arabian Football Federation and its ability to take appropriate measures to enhance discipline and protect the values of respect and sportsmanship in Saudi Arabian stadiums.

The company indicated that the international spread of the incident doubles the responsibility to handle it, especially with the increasing presence of Saudi Arabia's sports and the sports project in global forums.
