A source from the Asian Football Confederation confirmed to “Emirates Al-Youm” that Al-Ain Club did not file any complaint against the participation of the Saudi Al-Hilal player, the Brazilian star Neymar da Silva, against the backdrop of his participation in the match that brought together the two teams last Monday evening, after which many rumors spread about it. The Brazilian player’s participation is invalid.
The source stated that Al Ain Club did not submit any complaint on the day of the match or during the grace period that lasts after 24 hours to complete the complaint request. The confrontation between the two sides ended with the Saudi side winning 5-4
It is noteworthy that the Brazilian star, who participated in the 77th minute as a substitute for his colleague Nasser Al-Dosari, touched the ball 13 times, took only one shot and made 5 passes, of which 4 were successful, and 2 dribbles, and won only one challenge out of 4.
Neymar had been absent from the field for a full year due to the injury he suffered in October 2023 while participating with his country in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup finals.
