«الحكومة».. جاب الدوري

"The government... has won the league"… This was the sentiment of all the Al-Ittihad fans following their team's crowning as champions of the Roshen Saudi League for the 2024-2025 season, where the former international star and captain of the Tigers, Karim Benzema, was one of the most significant contributors to achieving the title with great merit and deservingness after his contributions alongside his teammates in creating and scoring goals, as well as providing motivational boosts for them both on and off the pitch.

**The secret of the government**

The secret recipe for the league title achieved by the club was embodied within the figure of "the government," captain Karim Benzema, who succeeded in scoring, assisting, and performing other positive actions, in addition to his interaction with the fans and his closeness to the players. He was also the link connecting the stands with all the club's staff.

**We will return**

After losing the league title last season, despair did not settle on the government, Karim Benzema, but he regained his strength and, along with the club officials, succeeded in reorganizing the Al-Ittihad house. He managed to deliver an extraordinary season both personally and collectively for his fellow players, resulting in winning the title, reaching the King’s Cup final, and making a significant return to participate in the elite AFC Champions League.

Benzema had tweeted via the "X" platform saying: "Remember that we will return," and indeed, the club returned as league champions for the current sports season, with two rounds remaining.
