What a heart-pounding weekend! Our 5^th Annual Football Tournament kicked off on Friday, March 1, with 15 teams battling it out on the pitch and more than 500 spectators cheering them on. With back-to-back matches from 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., the first day was a festival of breathtaking dribbles and heroic tackles.

On Saturday, the energy was off the charts! Two incredible teams, BESE1 and Security, made their way through the quarterfinals and semifinals and dueled on the field in the final game, leaving everyone on the edge of their seats. The last whistle blew as BESE1 clinched the title with a thrilling score of 1 – 0.

Guests of Honor

The final game was attended by prominent football coaches from the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, Jeddah Center, and Saudi football legends, Talal al Mashal and Saleh al Sagri, who handed out the awards to the winners at the culmination of the tournament.

Family Fun

The football fiesta was not limited to the fields but extended to the parking area where our younger fans and aspiring little kickers enjoyed the bouncy inflatables and delicious treats. Families and friends gathered around the food and ice cream trucks to share a bite, support their favorite players, and catch a spark of the electrifying atmosphere.
