Al-Ahli club officially relegated to the third division after a disastrous season

On a night of sorrow for sports fans in Medina, Al-Ahli Club a new tragic chapter in its recent history, having been officially relegated to the Saudi Third Division. This resounding defeat came after the team's loss this evening to Al-Qaws by a score of (2-1), a match that proved to be the final nail in the coffin of a season that can only be described as disastrous on all fronts.

Shocking figures in a season to forget

Al-Jabal's relegation was neither a coincidence nor the result of a sudden setback, but rather the culmination of a long and disheartening series of negative results in the second division. In the unmistakable language of statistics, the team played 23 matches without a single victory, managing only a single draw and suffering 22 heavy defeats. These catastrophic statistics clearly reflect the extent of the team's technical and physical collapse, making it one of the worst seasons in the club's long and storied history.

From the spotlight to obscurity: A historic collapse

What makes this relegation even more bitter is the timing of the events; this is the second consecutive time the team has been relegated. After competing in the First Division (Yellow League) last season, Al-Ahli found itself relegated to the Second Division, and the decline didn't stop there, as it continued its freefall, ultimately settling in the Third Division. This alarming drop represents a shock to the Saudi sports community, especially since Al-Ahli is considered one of the historical pillars of Medina's clubs, having previously competed for many years in the Saudi Professional League against the top teams.

An administrative and technical crisis is plaguing the club

Analysts attribute this collapse to the lack of administrative and technical stability throughout the season. The club suffered from complex financial and administrative circumstances, which became glaringly apparent during the winter transfer window, which passed without any real action to correct its course or strengthen the squad with players capable of lifting it from the bottom. The administration also failed to finalize player registrations, leaving the team to enter its crucial matches with depleted resources and shattered morale, making it easier for opponents to secure points.

An uncertain future and the challenges of reconstruction

Relegation to the third division presents the club's management and honorary members with existential challenges. Returning from the third tier requires a completely different strategic plan and a comprehensive review of the mistakes that led to this rapid decline. Those in charge of the club must now build a new sporting project that restructures the club and appeases its vast fan base, which has endured successive disappointments, before the name "Ahli" disappears from the forefront of competition for a potentially extended period, threatening the club's historical standing and popularity in the region.
