Ronaldo leads Al Nassr past Al Ittihad to reach Saudi Super Cup final
HONG KONG -- Al Nassr beat Al Ittihad 2-1 in the Saudi Super Cup semifinals at Hong Kong Stadium on Tuesday, with marquee player Cristiano Ronaldo assisting Joao Felix for the winner. This year's Saudi Super Cup held in Hong Kong features four teams across two semifinals and a final. More than 30,000 fans, most of whom are apparently Ronaldo supporters, packed the ground for the opening semifinal. Ronaldo and Felix started for Al Nassr, while Al Ittihad fielded Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante. Al Nassr struck first after 10 minutes when Marcelo Brozovic surged down and pulled back for Sadio Mane, who finished with a first-time volley. Al Ittihad got back on level terms five minutes later, when Moussa Diaby laid it off for Steven Bergwijn to find the net. Mane went from hero to zero minutes later as he was sent off for an awful challenge on opposite goalkeeper Hamed Al Shanqiti. With one player down, Al Nassr nevertheless restored the lead in the 61st minute when Ronaldo sprung the offside trap and selflessly squared for Felix to tap it into the empty net. The winner helped Al Nassr secure a spot in the final.

Dhofar to host Oman's First International Arabian Horse Pageant Cup
Salalah: 'Dhofar International Arabian Horse Beauty Pageant 2025' will kick off tomorrow in the Wilayat of Mirbat, Governorate of Dhofar. The event will last from 20 to 22 August 2025. The championship is jointly organized by the Office of the Governor of Dhofar and Dhofar Tourism Company as part of a programme to boost Dhofar governorate's position as a leading destination for hosting international championships. The contest, now in its first international edition, leverages the success of the Dhofar National Arabian Horse Beauty Pageant 2025. This year, more than 50 purebred Arabian horses will feature in the contest in a manner that reflects the growing presence of Dhofar Governorate on the regional and international events map. Dhofar International Arabian Horse Pageant is accredited by the European Conference of Arabian Horse Organizations (ECAHO). It places Dhofar Governorate on the agenda of international championships set for Arabian horse beauty. It fulfills Dhofar governorate's aspirations to become a prominent hub for horse owners and breeders, as well as investors and international parties interested in equestrian sports. The championship also boasts a distinct cultural and tourism dimension as it coincides with the Khareef Dhofar (monsoon) season—at a time the stunning natural scenery complements the beauty of purebred Arabian horses, ideally meeting the aspirations of equestrian enthusiasts. It is worth noting that the Wilayat of Mirbat was once a major centre for Arabian horse trade and export to other countries. Hosting the tournament in Mirbat assumes special significance as it symbolises a natural extension of the wilayat's rich heritage.
