بادئ ذي بدء، يسرني أن أرفع لسموكم الكريم خالص التحية والتقدير، مقرونين بمشاعر صادقة من المحبة والإعجاب بما تقومون به من جهود مخلصة ومنهجية عمل دؤوب أثمرت نجاحات وإنجازات بارزة على مستوى وزارة الرياضة واللجنة الأولمبية السعودية.
- اطلعت بعد نهاية المباراة النهائية لبطولة السوبر التي أُقيمت بين فريقي النصر والأهلي على توجيهكم الموقر للاتحاد السعودي لكرة القدم بشأن المعالجة الفورية للجوانب التنظيمية المرتبطة بقرارات بطولة السوبر السعودي، واتخاذ الإجراءات القانونية الكفيلة باستقرار تنظيم المسابقات وحفظ حقوق الأطراف ذات العلاقة. وإن كان هذا التوجيه قد أسعد كافة المنتمين للوسط الرياضي، إلا أنني كنت أتمنى أن يصدر في وقت أبكر قبل أن تصل الأمور إلى ما وصلت إليه، وألا يقتصر على بطولة السوبر فحسب، بل يشمل جميع لجان الاتحاد السعودي لكرة القدم، وبالأخص اللجان القضائية، لما لها من أثر بالغ على سير المنافسات وعدالتها.
- ولعل أبرز الأمثلة على ذلك قرار لجنة الاستئناف الذي صدر قبل إقامة نهائي السوبر بساعات قليلة، وهو توقيت أثار كثيراً من التساؤلات وعلامات الاستفهام، إذ لم يترك مجالاً لإعفاء اللجنة من اللوم. ومثل هذه الحالات ليست وليدة اليوم ولا تخص موسماً واحداً، بل تكررت على مدى عدة مواسم، في ظل موقف سلبي من اتحاد كرة القدم الذي آثر الصمت وعدم التدخل بحجة استقلالية اللجان.
- كما أن القرارات المتأخرة جداً في الموسم الماضي، مثل قضيتي الوحدة والنصر، والعروبة والنصر، أوجدت إشكالات وقرارات متضاربة بين اللجان، كان لها أثر مباشر على عدالة المنافسة في الدوري الذي تُصرف عليه المليارات، مما يثير الريبة حول توقيت إصدارها. وإن كانت اللجان تعلل تأخرها بإجراءات التحقيق والاستفسار والتواصل مع جهات مختصة، فإن ذلك – مع الاحترام – «عذر أقبح من ذنب»، إذ ترتب عليه ارتباك وضغوط نفسية على الأندية، وقلب للحقائق بما يضر بعدالة المنافسة.
- اسمح لي يا سمو الأمير، إن المشكلة أعمق من مجرد توجيهات مرتبطة بحدث معين، بل تتطلب معالجة شاملة تبدأ بمحاسبة اتحاد كرة القدم على موقفه السلبي، ثم إعادة تشكيل اللجان القضائية بكفاءات سعودية متخصصة ومتفرغة، تعيد للنظام هيبته، وتعيد ثقة الشارع الرياضي بمؤسساته.
- وفي الختام، أكرر لسموكم خالص الشكر والتقدير على سعة صدركم، سائلاً الله أن يوفقكم ويسدد خطاكم لما فيه خير الرياضة السعودية وتطورها، انسجاماً مع رؤية سمو ولي العهد الأمير محمد بن سلمان «حفظه الله».

First of all, I am pleased to extend to Your Highness my sincere greetings and appreciation, accompanied by genuine feelings of love and admiration for the dedicated efforts and systematic work you are undertaking, which have resulted in notable successes and achievements at the level of the Ministry of Sports and the Saudi Olympic Committee.
- After the conclusion of the final match of the Super Cup held between the teams of Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli, I reviewed your esteemed directive to the Saudi Football Federation regarding the immediate handling of the organizational aspects related to the decisions of the Saudi Super Cup, and taking the legal measures necessary to stabilize the organization of competitions and preserve the rights of the parties involved. While this directive has pleased all those affiliated with the sports community, I had hoped it would have been issued earlier before matters reached their current state, and that it would not be limited to the Super Cup alone, but would encompass all committees of the Saudi Football Federation, especially the judicial committees, due to their significant impact on the fairness and progress of competitions.
- Perhaps the most prominent example of this is the decision of the Appeals Committee, which was issued just hours before the Super Cup final, a timing that raised many questions and doubts, as it left no room for the committee to be exempted from blame. Such cases are not new and do not pertain to just one season; they have recurred over several seasons, amidst a negative stance from the Football Federation, which preferred silence and non-intervention under the pretext of the independence of the committees.
- Additionally, the very late decisions in the last season, such as the cases of Al-Wehda and Al-Nassr, and Al-Urouba and Al-Nassr, created issues and conflicting decisions among the committees, which had a direct impact on the fairness of the competition in the league that is funded by billions, raising suspicions about the timing of their issuance. While the committees justify their delays with investigation procedures, inquiries, and communication with relevant authorities, this – with all due respect – is "a worse excuse than the sin," as it resulted in confusion and psychological pressure on the clubs, distorting the facts in a way that harms the fairness of the competition.
- Allow me, Your Highness, to say that the problem is deeper than mere directives related to a specific event; it requires a comprehensive treatment that begins with holding the Football Federation accountable for its negative stance, followed by a restructuring of the judicial committees with specialized and dedicated Saudi competencies, restoring the system's dignity and reinstating the trust of the sports community in its institutions.
- In conclusion, I reiterate my sincere thanks and appreciation to Your Highness for your patience, asking God to grant you success and guide your steps towards the betterment and development of Saudi sports, in harmony with the vision of His Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman "may God protect him."
