Fifteen Minutes to Change Teams in the Saudi Pro League
31 January 2026
Move at a Glance
Shabab confirms the loan of 29-year-old Fawaz Al-Suqoor from Al-Ittihad, returning to the club he left earlier, until the end of the season.
Backstory and Official Word
Al-Suqoor joined Al-Ittihad from Al-Shabab in a deal worth about $2.8 million at the time. Shabab announced the move via X, noting leadership under Abdulaziz Al-Malik had signed the loan until season's end. Al-Ittihad also wished the player success in his new/old challenge.
Season Snapshot
The forward, 29, has appeared only twice this season for Al-Ittihad, totaling 15 minutes as a substitute. Across his career, he has made 50 appearances, scoring two goals and providing six assists.
And now, for a couple of light jokes: If transfers were time machines, this one is a loan that arrives on schedule but leaves the station early. If 15 minutes could win a championship, the clock would be doing cardio.
