Al-Ahly Jeddah Fans Demand President’s Resignation After Narrow Victory
Frustration boiled over for Al-Ahly Jeddah fans Friday following a narrow 1-0 victory over Al-Wahda. Despite the win, the team’s performance fell short of expectations, igniting a wave of anger directed at club president Khaled Al-Issa.
As the final whistle blew, Al-Issa made his way towards the exit gates only to find them closed. A throng of passionate, yet disgruntled fans, swiftly surrounded him, their chants echoing demands for his resignation and denouncing his leadership.
Former Al-Hilal star Youssef Al-Thunayan weighed in on the heated situation, calling for cooler heads to prevail. “We promised Al-Ahly and its loyal fans the honor of treating players and staff with respect. Regardless of the differences or challenges, Mr. Khaled Al-Issa is still the president of the club," Al-Thunayan stated.
He further urged the Al-Ahly Fans Association to issue a formal apology to Al-Issa, emphasizing the long and storied history of the club.
The fan outburst highlights Al-Ahly’s tumultuous season. Early exits from both the Saudi Super Cup and the Two Holy Mosques Cup, coupled with a sluggish start in league play, left fans searching for answers. Notably, their loss to Al-Hilal in the Super Cup came down to a penalty shootout, adding another layer of disappointment.
However, Al-Ahly has shown resilience in the AFC Elite Champions League. After five rounds, they boast a perfect record, securing a spot in the knockout stage.
This win over Al-Wahda moves Al-Ahly to 20 points, placing them in sixth position – ten points behind league leaders Al-Ittihad. Al-Ittihad will face Al-Ittifaq on Saturday, looking to extend their lead at the top of the table.
The future for Al-Ahly Jeddah remains uncertain. While they’ve demonstrated their ability to compete at a high level in continental competition, their recent domestic performance has left fans deeply dissatisfied. Only time will tell if Al-Issa can regain their trust and steer the club back to a path of success.
