Image: Was Waleed Al-Faraj deliberately gloating after losing to Asia?

Saudi journalist Waleed Al-Faraj sparked controversy after Al-Nasr failed to win AFC Champions League 2 for the first time in their history.

Al-Nasr lost in the final round of the Asian ChampionshipAfter a clean sheet defeat by Japan’s Gamba Osaka at First Park on Saturday.

Immediately after the match, Al-Faraj posted an unusual tweet through his personal account on the website “X”, inviting fans to watch an episode of his program “Action with Waleed” on the channel “MBC Action”.

Al-Faraj posted a picture of himself laughing from the program, commenting: “We look forward to seeing you soon in action with Waleed,” adding some fiery symbols to show the excitement.

Al-Faraj’s tweet sparked widespread anger among Al-Nasr fans, who accused the Saudi journalist of deliberately showing his joy at the team’s loss of a second AFC Champions League title, despite facing the Japanese side in the final match.

Lately, there has been a tense situation between Al-Nasr fans and the Saudi media, to the point that Al-Alami legend Majed Abdullah refused to give an interview on his program due to constant attacks on the team.
