Al-Taawoun Faces Closed-Door Matches Over Chants Incident
The Saudi Pro League has imposed a sanction on Al-Taawoun, requiring the club to play two home league matches behind closed doors. This decision follows an incident where supporters taunted Al-Hilal midfielder Ruben Neves with chants related to the death of his close friend and former teammate, Diogo Jota.
The action was prompted by a demand from Cristiano Ronaldo, who called for measures to address such behavior in the league. The ban reflects the league's stance on maintaining sportsmanship and respect among players and teams.
