The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia witnessed widespread national celebrations on the occasion of Founding Day, which falls on February 22nd each year. The streets and squares were filled with parades and aerial displays, while buildings and facilities were adorned with flags and decorations.

The importance of this day stems from its commemoration of the founding of the first Saudi state by Imam Muhammad bin Saud in 1727 AD, which formed the nucleus of a unified political entity in the Arabian Peninsula and lasted for over a century before falling to Ottoman forces in 1818 AD.

The celebrations included military air and ground displays in several cities, involving various security and military sectors, in addition to fireworks displays in the skies of Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Taif, and other cities.

The Ministry of Culture also organized diverse cultural and heritage events in all regions of the Kingdom, including art and handicraft exhibitions, folk performances, theatrical plays, as well as sports and entertainment competitions.

In a televised speech on this occasion, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman affirmed that Founding Day represents “a source of pride and honor for every Saudi,” noting that it is “a day when we remember the sacrifices of our fathers and forefathers and draw inspiration from them to continue the path of construction and development.”

He added: “We are celebrating today the anniversary of the founding of our first state, which was based on the principles of monotheism, justice, and consultation, and which formed a unique model of governance in the region.”

Professor of History at King Saud University, Dr. Abdullah Al-Maqbel, stated that “Founding Day represents an opportunity to highlight the deep historical roots of the Saudi state and emphasize its pivotal role in spreading the reformist call, unifying ranks, and establishing the foundations of security and stability.”

Al-Maqbel added in a statement to the Saudi Press Agency: “Celebrating this occasion reflects pride in national identity and a glorious history, and enhances the sense of belonging and loyalty to the homeland and its wise leadership.”

On this occasion, King Salman bin Abdulaziz issued a royal order to consider February 22nd of each year as an official holiday called “Founding Day,” to be added to the list of national occasions that receive special attention and care from the leadership.

Karim Benzema, the French football star, continues to shine with his team Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Professional League, scoring 3.2% of his team’s goals this season, making him the top scorer.

In a post-match statement, Benzema said: “I am very happy with what I am offering with Al-Ittihad, and I hope to continue achieving victories for the team.”

Since joining Al-Ittihad in the summer of 2023, Benzema has scored 11.5% of his total goals in the Saudi League, with a total of 4 goals in 12 matches played so far.

It is worth noting that Benzema moved to Al-Ittihad from Real Madrid in Spain on a free transfer, after a distinguished career with the royal club that lasted 14 years, during which he won the UEFA Champions League 5 times, the Spanish League 4 times, and the King’s Cup once.

Currently, Al-Ittihad occupies second place in the Saudi League standings with 32 points, 4 points behind the leader Al-Hilal, after 15 rounds of the competition.

Introduction:
Malcom, the new striker of Al-Hilal Saudi Club, managed to break his scoring drought by netting a goal in a friendly match held in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, confirming his offensive capabilities with his new team.

Main Body:
Malcom succeeded in leaving his first mark with Al-Hilal by scoring a goal in the friendly match that took place at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh. According to his statements to the media, the Brazilian striker expressed his great happiness at achieving this personal accomplishment and contributing to his team’s victory.

Malcom had joined Al-Hilal during the last summer transfer window, coming from Zenit Saint Petersburg Russian club, in a deal worth around 15 million euros. The player participated in the team’s recent matches in the Saudi Professional League, but he had not managed to score until now.

This friendly match is a good opportunity for coach Ramon Diaz to evaluate the level of his new players before the start of the new football season. The match witnessed the participation of a number of young players alongside the team’s main stars.

Conclusion:
Al-Hilal fans hope that this first goal will be the beginning of a fruitful season for the Brazilian star Malcom with the team. The new season is expected to witness great brilliance from Al-Hilal thanks to the strong contracts that the club has signed, led by the signing of Malcom.

Riyadh – Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz issued a royal order appointing Thiaban bin Muhammad bin Salim bin Hamad Al Salem as Minister of Foreign Affairs with the rank of minister.
