DALENA REPORTERS

  Al-Hilal forward, Neymar, and influencer, Bruna Biancardi, have officially separated.   This comes weeks after they celebrated the birth of their first child, Mavie, born on October 7.   Despite the pair’s initial joy at expanding their family, rumours circulated about their relationship status.   It was fueled by speculations of Neymar’s alleged infidelity.   However, taking to her Instagram story, Biancardi addressed the rumours, saying, “This is a private matter, but since I am often associated with news, suspicions, and jokes, I would like to inform you that I am not in a relationship.   “We are Mavie’s parents, and that is the reason for our relationship. I hope you won’t associate me with the news so often anymore. Thank you.”   This development follows past instances of strain in their relationship as compromising footage of Neymar partying with other women emerged earlier this year.

  Newcastle United striker, Alexander Isak netted on his return from injury, while two quick-fire second-half goals and a late Anthony Gordon strike gave the Magpies a 4-1 Premier League win over 10-man Chelsea at St. James’ Park on Saturday.   Isak, who has missed several games over the last month due to a groin problem, was teed up by a brilliant short pass through the heart of the Chelsea defence by 17-year-old midfielder Lewis Miley, and the striker took a touch before firing home in the 13th minute.   Chelsea drew level 10 minutes later as Raheem Sterling was brought down on the edge of the box, and the winger stepped up to drill the resulting free-kick past the flat-footed Nick Pope.   Newcastle almost went in ahead at the break as a free kick from fullback Kieran Trippier hit the crossbar, but there was little indication of the collapse to come from Chelsea in the second half.   The home side took the lead again on the hour mark as Newcastle patiently worked a free

Al-Nassr kept up their perfect start to the season with a win over Al-Ahli, while Al-Hilal emerged victorious from their highly anticipated home clash with Al-Ittihad in the fifth round of matches of the Saudi Women’s Premier League.   Al-Nassr’s comprehensive 3-0 victory at home on Saturday maintains their 100 percent record at the top of the table with 15 points from five matches. Clara Luvanga scored two with Lina Boussaha getting the other.   Meanwhile, A-Hilal’s 3-2 win over their Jeddah opponents on Friday came thanks to goals from Nouf Saud, Noura Al-Hamli and Shokhan Salihi, while Al-Ittihad’s two goals came from Salma Amani, one of them a sensational solo effort that saw her slalom through the home defence.   Despite their loss, Al-Ittihad held on to second place with 10 points, followed by Al-Hilal in third with seven.   In the round’s other matches, Al-Shabab defeated Eastern Flames 2-0 on Friday, and Al-Qadisiyah beat Riyadh Club by the same scoreline the

  The summer of 2023 marked 40 years since the most memorable moment in the history of Al-Ettifaq, the green and red club based in Dammam on the eastern shores of Saudi Arabia.   It was in the 1982-83 season that Al-Ettifaq made Saudi football history, becoming the first team in the nation’s history to win the league without a single defeat. It was the first league triumph for a club that was until that point not considered one of Saudi Arabia’s powerhouses, and it would be followed by only one more league title, four years later.   The success of the 1980s shaped the identity of the club nicknamed “Al-Nawkhada,” a nod to the ancient profession of Nawkhada, captains of the traditional dhow boats that roamed the waters of the Arabian Gulf for centuries, transporting goods between the Arabian Peninsula and places like India, Iran and East Africa as well as carrying experienced pearl divers on whose shoulders the fortunes of the region were built long before the discover
