It is very painful for Al-Ansar to drop from the Premier Basketball League, which was one of the knights and sides of Saudi basketball.
What is happening and where is the supporters club? Who was once the master of the basketball sports arena, whether in the city or at the level of the Kingdom.
I'm not going to go into football mode and that's another big topic which fell to the second division and never came back.
I will touch on an important point, which is that the most prominent stars of Saudi clubs in Saudi basketball are Al-Ansar players.
Al-Ahly, who finally achieved the league championship, had two of its most prominent players, Marzouq Al-Mawlid and Ayman Bilal, one of the stars of Al-Ansar, Osama Barqawi and Mustafa Fasil in Al-Hilal, Musab Qadi in Al-Nasr, Ahmed Abdel-Qader and Yazid Falata in Uhud, Mustafa Hawsawi in Al-Taawun, Hashim Fatawi and Haitham Hawsawi in Al-Ula. ..
These stars are currently the most prominent in basketball, and if there are two or three left, we may find Al-Ansar competing for the league championship, not relegation.
Everyone is sad about the decline of that date and the owner of championships and glories in basketball who made the most prominent stars of Saudi basketball, including the great star Muhammad Taher, whose place in basketball is still vacant.
Basketball talents and stars are a rare currency, and giving them up is difficult, and it may cost you a lot.
The player has the right to seek his interest and secure his future as long as his club is unable to do so, but it was important to compensate them in building and caring for the Sunni groups.
Very sad about the situation of the supporters, and many fans of the supporters follow from afar the situation of their club, unable to save what can be saved as long as there is an administration that runs things.
Basket supervisor Muhammad Al-Najjar tried with his team to save what could be saved before the ship sank, but he came at the lost time.
He said in a televised statement before announcing his resignation that the Al-Ansar administration is just ink on paper only and has no presence, and that re-elections must be considered, and that half of the members are chosen by appointment from the Ministry of Sports.
I hope that Al-Ansar will return to the Premier League quickly because it is one of the aspects of Saudi basketball.
