Riyadh, 25 July (AKI) - A Saudi football star playing for a Swiss team has refused to play against an Israeli team for apparent political and religious reasons.
Hussein Abdulghani, who plays for Swiss premier league club Neuchatel Xamax, said he would not play a game against a 'Zionist team', reported Arabic language newspaper al-Quds al-Arabi on Friday.
Neuchatel Xamax is reportedly planning a game with an as yet unnamed Israeli team.
Team officials are said to have accepted his decision not to play in the future match against the Israeli team.
Abdulghani, 31, has represented Saudi Arabia in three world cups, and played most of his life in the Al-Ahli team from Jeddah. He was recently signed to a three-year contract with Neuchatel Xamax.

Then they forfeit the game.
I am already ticked that the Iraq team has been banned from the game.
They didnt seem to mind when Saddam's sons were torturing the players when they lost a game.

I would want to meet my advisory on a field of battle any way I could.
Sounds like the pussy is afraid he might lose to the Zionists.

Looks like they need to trade him to Israel.
Give him a few pork chops and a couple of beers. Loosen him right up.

I bet you the Israeli team would play the Wahhabis anytime.

Unless these people can blow themselves up and kill Jews they’re afraid they might lose to them.
