Al Taawon issued a statement condemning chants targeting Ruben Neves, Al Hilal's player, and announced it will take action against those responsible.

In the seventh round of the Saudi Pro League match on Saturday, Al Hilal defeated Al Taawon 6-0 away. During the match, some Al Taawon fans chanted the name of Diogo Jota, the late striker, in an attempt to provoke Ruben Neves, Al Hilal's player.

Al Taawon has since issued an official statement on social media, stating that the club strongly opposes the chants targeting Al Hilal's player, describing such behavior as not reflecting the values the club, its fans, and society uphold. The club emphasized that sports competition cannot be used as an excuse for disrespect, mockery, or hurting others' feelings, and that any chants or actions that cross the line of sportsmanship are personal acts.

Al Taawon officials stated that the club rejects all forms of disrespect and will take necessary measures with relevant authorities to ensure such incidents do not occur again, while preventing those involved from repeating such behavior.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage in Saudi Arabia's sports community. Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Al Nassr, called for the fans involved to be permanently banned from stadiums, and Al Hilal subsequently announced that it had filed a complaint with the Saudi Football Federation.
