Many members of the media expressed deep dissatisfaction with the Aseel Sports Media Forum, which was witnessed by the Abha Sports Club and attended by many media and sports personnel, and that it did not achieve its intended purpose, and that the absence of speakers announced in the forum’s program was limited to the attendance of the media center director of the host club, without the participation or intervention of representatives of the media centers of local clubs. Meanwhile, Mr. Okaz met with a number of media professionals who expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of positive results during the sports forum and the failure to achieve the goals they expected to achieve.

Although Hassan Al-Kubaisi and his colleague Abdul Rahman Abu Mahrus initially agreed that the idea of the forum was a positive sign, it did not achieve the desired goals. Al Qubaisi said: “The invitation sent to us indicated that a large number of representatives of the media centers of sports clubs would be present, but when we actually attended, we found only the directors of the media centers of the host clubs, and the participation and intervention of representatives of the media centers of local clubs was absent, so the forum lost the important aspect of diversity and exchange of experiences that we expected from this event.” It works, but I’ll wait for the next result. ” His colleague Abu Mahrus added, “The forum did not include any professional workshops, and in addition to the limited space allotted for discussion and exchange of views, it did not invite veteran media personnel to hold dialogues or educational and interactive sessions. Nor was the location suitable,” adding, calling on the organizers to enrich the content of future forums and provide a more appropriate and professional environment.

Meanwhile, journalist Hussein Al Shujaa said: “There was a great desire from the media community for the Forum to produce serious efforts, results and practical measures that directly benefit Asir sports media, to work on the development of professional opportunities and to increase the presence of the Forum in a manner commensurate with the local sports and media landscape.” Meanwhile, journalist Saeed Al Hathraa said: “The forum did not include any useful media discussion or dialogue; its purpose was only to talk about the Abha club and its rise, and did not address the role of the club or what is expected of it.” He added: “The majority of attendees were not from the sports media, and there were no speakers from the sports field. It was a very modest organization, which I regret, but it was also a forum with a huge lack of sports professionalism.” He wondered and said: “Why were there no invitations for the sports media to be given the opportunity to attend the training of the Abha team before the big matches, or to entertain from time to time during the sports season to see the achievements of the club?”

Hassan al-Kubaisi and his colleague Abdulrahman Abu Mahrus initially agreed that the idea of a forum was a positive initiative, but that it would not achieve the desired objectives. Al Qubaisi said: “The invitation sent to us stated that several representatives from the sports club’s media center would be present, but when we arrived, there was only the director of the host club’s media center. The contribution and intervention from the representatives of the local club’s media center was lacking, and the important aspect of the forum – diversity and exchange of experiences that we had hoped for from this event – was lost. However, we are looking forward to the future.” His colleague Abu Mahrus added, “The forum did not include any professional workshops, nor did it invite experienced media personalities to present discussions and educational and interactive sessions. Moreover, the limited space allocated for the discussion and the location of the event were not appropriate,” adding, calling on the organizers to enrich the content of the forum in future editions and provide a more appropriate and professional environment.

Journalist Hussein Al Shuja said: “There were high expectations from media professionals that this forum would directly contribute to sports media in Asir, work on the development of professional opportunities and bring initiatives, achievements and serious practical steps to increase the presence of sports media in line with the status of sports and media in the region.” Meanwhile, journalist Saeed Al Hatrai said: “The forum did not include any useful discussions or dialogue with the media, its purpose was only to talk about Abha Club and its promotion, and did not mention the role of the club or what is expected of it.” He added: “The majority of attendees were not affiliated with the sports media, and there were no speakers in the sports field. The forum lacked a significant lack of sports professionalism and was poorly organized in a very modest way.” “Why were sports journalists not invited, why were they not given the opportunity to take part in Abha team training sessions before major matches or to be regularly invited to learn about the club’s performance during the sports season?” he asked.
