The first comment from Mohammed bin Salman’s office on Saudi Arabia winning the “Gulf 27” title

Badr Al-Asaker, director of the private office of the Saudi Crown Prince, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, commented on the “Green” team’s victory in the “Arabian Gulf” Cup title.

The Giorgos Donis players were crowned with the “Gulf 27” championship after defeating the UAE national team with two unanswered goals, at Al-Enmaa Stadium, on Tuesday.

This is the fourth title for the Saudi national team throughout history, while the “Emirati White” tally is frozen at two titles.

Badr Al-Asaker wrote on his account on the “X” platform on Wednesday: “Jeddah shined, and Al-Akhdar won. Congratulations to our Saudi team for achieving the 27th Gulf Cup.”

He added: “A title that translates the continued Saudi development athletically, in light of our leadership’s support, follow-up, and keenness on the sports sector. Best of luck to the national team of the sisterly UAE.”

The Saudi King, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and his Crown Prince had received congratulatory messages on the occasion of the team’s victory in the title, from the Emirati President, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber, and the King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
