Prince Turki Abdullah Al Faisal expressed dissatisfaction with the inaccurate and dishonest treatment of the Saudi sporting pioneer Prince Abdullah Al Faisal’s stage, stressing that current proposals for the stage do not reflect historical reality.
History between truth and falsehood
In an exclusive interview with Okaz, he said: “I regret what has been said about my father. He is not only my father’s son, but a man who played a central role in an important stage of Saudi sports and helped build its beginnings through his support and work.” “We don’t believe in it because it’s the duty our fathers fulfilled for their country, but it’s a shame that that history and that era is being told today by generations who don’t know about it or who haven’t read the books.” Why am I, and everyone who wants to protect the rights of settlers, turning some news outlets and social media platforms into controversy, lies, slander and falsification, demanding an end to this confusion that does not satisfy us and does not satisfy those who know the history of Prince Abdullah Al Faisal?
Distortion is not allowed
Prince Turki added: “After long patience, we will not allow this step to be distorted in the name of trends or fanaticism. Abdullah Al Faisal’s name is too big to be circulated in this unacceptable manner among media personnel and the general public. I hope that the authorities regulating the media, as umbrella organizations in this field, will play their part in preventing such abuses.”
The door is open to researchers
In response to another question, he said: “Anyone who explores history will find it as it is, as long as he explores it among the people to whom it is entrusted. Abdullah Al Fai, the pioneer of Saudi sports and its first founder “We reiterate that our hearts and doors are open to all who wish to know the history of Prince Sal. Otherwise, we will not allow our history to be manipulated by those who claim knowledge or seek fame.”

History between truth and fabrication

It was a duty he fulfilled to his country. But it is unfortunate that this history and that era are now being told by a generation that does not know about it.” In this regard, I, and all those who are passionate about defending the rights of settlers, cannot help but demand an end to this commotion that has evolved in some media and social media platforms into controversy, lies, slander and distortions, which does not please us or those who know the history of Prince Abdullah Al Faisal.
Distortion is not allowed
Prince Turki further added: “After a long period of patience, we will not allow the distortion of those times in the name of prejudice or fanaticism. It is best of all that the name of Abdullah al-Fasal is subject to circulation among journalists and fans in such an unacceptable manner. We hope that, as supervisory bodies in this field, the responsible authorities organizing the media will play their part in preventing such violations.”
