Several observers from the sports community witnessed the meeting of Dr. Yahya Al-Sharif, former head of the Football Disputes Settlement Chamber, at the Saudi Sports Arbitration Center and he explained some of the practices in his position, especially during the Muhammad No case, and the cases Their lack of information about and their failure to provide them with the details of the decision and they did not know what happened in the case is disturbing and I wish that the authorities of the Saudi Sports Arbitration Center investigate the legality of these practices Whether or not to clarify, as well as most followers of the sports community after this famous TV interview, there was confusion and lack of clarity between the Football Disputes Chamber and the Chamber of the Saudi Sports Arbitration Center. The dispute involved the Saudi Football Association, but it is certain that Dr. Yahya Al-Sharif is the head of the Football Disputes Chamber of the Sports Arbitration Center, and I think the confusion is natural because of the similarity of the names of the two chambers.
I think this meeting mentioned practices that should be verified by the authority that oversees the Saudi Sports Arbitration Center, which is the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee, and I think this meeting is not a meeting between officials or the sports community. Will not go unnoticed by anyone.
But will this case affect the case of player Mohammad No? Certainly, this will not affect as the award is final and enforceable, and most of what was discussed in the operative part of the Saudi Sports Arbitration Center’s award in this case has been implemented.
As noted by the sports community regarding the possibility of issuing a sports pardon, this is a matter outside the authority of the Saudi Sports Arbitration Center and there is no legal text on it, but the supervising authority, which is the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee. , the game can issue the amnesty decision on its own without binding, and it can be a game initiative. And if it was released, it would have benefited all athletes in all different sports, and it also disbanded the Saudi Sports Board of Directors. Mediation Center first and recreated it.
