Kooora flags award ceremonies close to Saudi league fixtures

Kooora points to a new wrinkle in the fixture picture: award ceremonies are landing right beside league games. The Asian awards are in Kuala Lumpur on November 19, with Salem Al-Dawsari and Firas Al-Buraikan among the participants. Al-Ahli–Al-Nassr is scheduled for the next day, and Kooora says Al-Buraikan could miss it. The African awards, moved up from December 7 to December 2 in Lagos, bring a similar squeeze: Sadio Mane, Yassine Bounou and Edouard Mendy are among the Saudi league players involved. Al-Hilal–Al-Diriyah follows the next day, then Al-Nassr–Al-Qadsiah and Al-Ahli–Al-Faisaly two days later. Kooora describes a possible conflict between travel and club matches, not confirmed absences.
