It was decided to postpone the retirement ceremony of Saudi star Khaled Massad, which was scheduled to witness a friendly match between the two teams Al-Ahly Egyptian and Al-Ahly Saudi.
It was planned that the anticipated match between Al-Ahly of Egypt and Al-Ahly of Saudi Arabia would be held at the Radiant Jewel Stadium in Jeddah on November 12, but the Charitable Athletes Welfare Association in the Makkah Al-Mukarramah region decided to postpone the event to a later date next year.
The association attributed the reasons for the postponement to “the failure to achieve the desired goals of the retirement ceremony and its desire for it to appear in the best light and in a manner befitting the history of this great star.”
The match between Al-Ahly of Egypt and Al-Ahly of Saudi Arabia was considered an exceptional sporting event, as it was expected to witness the participation of a large number of Saudi football stars.
Khaled Massad is considered one of the most prominent Saudi football players in its history, as he achieved many achievements with the Saudi national team and Al-Ahly Saudi Arabia. Massad expressed his happiness at choosing Al-Ahly of Egypt to participate in his retirement ceremony, stressing his great love for this club.
A new date for the retirement ceremony has not been set yet, but it is expected to be announced during the coming period.
