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 Championship Documentation Committee, Mohammed Al-Munajjim, the president of Al-Shabab Club, broke his silence. His words were not just an opinion, but a public slap at the way those who decide the fate of club history are chosen. Questions are increasing: Is the memory of Saudi football managed so easily?

Is it logical to assign documentation to the voting of general assemblies? Most of its members have not achieved any notable accomplishments. Al-Munajjim hints that many of those clubs are run by temporary boards that lack sufficient knowledge of the legacy of Saudi sports.

Al-Munajjim 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-Munajjim emphasizes that Al-Shabab Club does not need to defend itself, as it is one of the most decorated teams at both the league and international levels. He stressed that those who set the documentation criteria bear responsibility before history, as today's documentation will be taught tomorrow.

Al-Munajjim calls for the documentation mechanism to be announced clearly, even if the results do not please everyone, as the standard is justice, not favoritism. He believes that Al-Shabab is among the top four clubs in league championships and the second club in international titles... and these are facts that cannot be erased.

He concludes with a call to not hand over the fate of football history to voices that may lean towards emotions rather than documented truth.
