Who Walid Al-Faraj Thinks Should Lead Al-Nasr
Saudi media personality Walid Al-Faraj has named the man to steer Al-Nasr in the coming period.
He posted on his official X account that Al-Nasr is a special case that needs investors who are emotionally attached to the club rather than simply seeking profit.
He added: "Therefore I believe Prince Khalid bin Fahd bin Abdulaziz is the right choice, an investor and a true fan who won't find Al-Nasr like this again in the near future; solutions for 2026 challenges won't be available beyond that."
Context: Privatization and Investment in Saudi Football
Prince Khalid bin Fahd bin Abdulaziz is one of the club's supporters and has been linked with financial backing on several occasions.
This tweet comes amid ongoing privatization of clubs sweeping Saudi sports in recent times.
Reports had suggested that Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, the Golden Member of Al-Hilal, was close to fully acquiring the club, after obtaining 75% of the Public Investment Fund and 25% from the Ministry of Youth and Sports — Punchline: headshots in football are rare, but this one lands.
