Saudi Club Al-Taawoun Handed Stadium Ban and Fine for Offensive Chants Targeting Ruben Neves

Saudi Pro League team Al-Taawoun has been hit with a two-match stadium ban and a £20,000 fine for their fans’ offensive chants directed at Al-Hilal midfielder Ruben Neves. Supporters taunted Neves about the death of his close friend and former teammate, Diogo Jota, prompting strong reactions from Neves and football figures like Cristiano Ronaldo. Al-Taawoun has condemned the behavior, calling it unacceptable and not representative of their club’s values.
