Update on Re-Documentation Initiative
The article focused on the issue of documenting the history of Saudi football, particularly regarding the reclassification of the King's Cup tournaments held from 1957 to 1965 into league championships. It points out that labeling these competitions as leagues constitutes a break from the established historical constants, both popularly and officially. These tournaments were named after the King, prince, or president according to the designation, and were organized with the approval of sponsors rather than following a modern league system. Additionally, the article underscores that the first Saudi Premier League for top division clubs was in the 1976-1977 season, a historical event that cannot be ignored or altered, and should be preserved in line with its history and the naming of its titles. The documentation project successfully completed its mission, but discussions are ongoing about changing the names of certain competitions. The article emphasizes that documentation should remain alive, flexible, and aligned with the true history of Saudi football.
