Important statement from Damac to its fans before the Al-Nassr match in the Roshan League
In a first-of-its-kind move since the start of the current season of the Saudi Professional League, the management of Damac Sports Club issued an important official statement addressed to the team's fan base, in preparation for the anticipated and difficult match that will bring together "The Knight of the South" with its counterpart Al-Nasr Club (last season's runner-up) on Wednesday evening.
In its statement, the club's management called on the fans to attend in large numbers and provide active support in the stands of Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Al-Mahala, at 8:30 pm, stressing that this match represents an important turning point for the team due to its high technical and competitive value against one of the most prominent candidates to win the title.
The importance of the match and the team's position in the standings
This match is of paramount importance to Damac FC, who are experiencing a precarious season. The team currently sits in 15th place in the league standings, dangerously close to the relegation zone. According to current statistics, Damac has only managed 11 points from 15 matches, securing a single victory, drawing eight, and losing six. These figures place immense pressure on the players and coaching staff to achieve a positive result against a seasoned opponent like Al-Nassr, especially since the high number of draws suggests a relatively solid defense coupled with a lack of attacking prowess in securing wins.
General context and competitor strength
This public appeal comes as Damac's management recognizes the difficulty of the task against Al-Nassr, a club packed with international and local stars, which is also striving to continue its pursuit of the top spot and compete for the title. Matches between the two teams in Abha are always special, as the home advantage, the support of the fans, and the altitude can sometimes narrow the gap in skill levels.
The role of the audience as a partner in success
The club statement emphasized that fan attendance is not merely about numbers in the stands, but a pivotal element in showcasing the positive image of Saudi domestic competitions, which have garnered global attention. The statement stressed the importance of promoting the values of fair play and sportsmanship, expressing the administration's confidence that the fans of the Asir region and Damac supporters will be present to provide an exemplary model of civilized support. The club concluded by urging fans to arrive early and unite in support of the team, believing that the stands are the "12th player" and essential partners in securing victory or achieving a positive result that restores the team's balance in the competition.
