Saudi Arabian Football Federation and Badr bin Suleiman Al-Ruzaiza
Saturday
Saudi Arabia’s football federation election committee has ruled that only Badr bin Suleiman Al-Ruzaiza’s list satisfies all candidacy requirements. Seven lists originally entered the process, one withdrew, and five of the six remaining submissions were excluded after examination.
The decision leaves Al-Ruzaiza effectively alone at this stage of the leadership race following Yasser Al-Misehal’s resignation after the World Cup. The exclusions dramatically narrow an election expected to determine who handles several major Saudi football projects.
