Saud Abdulhamid becomes first Saudi player to debut in French league
PARIS — Saudi Arabia's Saud Abdulhamid made history on Thursday night by becoming the first Saudi footballer to play in the French top flight, appearing as a second-half substitute in RC Lens' 1-0 loss to Lyon in the opening round of Ligue 1. Abdulhamid, who joined Lens on a season-long loan from Serie A side AS Roma, received a warm ovation from the home crowd at Stade Bollaert-Delelis when he stepped onto the pitch. Despite Lens' defeat, the moment was a personal milestone for the Saudi international, whose entry into the French league adds to the growing global footprint of Saudi football talent. The match's only goal came in first-half stoppage time (45+1) through Georgian striker Georges Mikautadze, who capitalized on a precise assist from Belgian winger Malick Fofana one of Lyon's standout performers on the night. The game also marked a turning point for Lyon, who recently emerged from financial uncertainty after the departure of former owner John Textor. The French financial watchdog initially ruled the club ineligible for the top division, but that decision was overturned after new president Michele Kang convinced regulators of the club's financial stability for the 2026 season.

Saudi Arabia's Cabinet has approved a digital identification system allowing non-Saudi, non-resident foreigners to purchase property in the Kingdom, according to Gulf News. The Cabinet also approved a governance framework for non-Saudi property ownership and usufruct rights, based on recommendations from the Strategic Committee of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs. Part of this framework includes establishing a dedicated committee within the authority's board to oversee the sector. Moreover, the General Real Estate Authority, in coordination with the Ministry of Interior, the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority, the National Information Centre and other relevant agencies, will have the authority to develop mechanisms for implementing the digital ID in preparation for the rollout of the Non-Saudi Real Estate Ownership Law. The new ownership law, approved in last July, is set take effect in January 2026. In August, the authority released draft executive regulations stipulating that non-resident foreigners must meet the following requirements in order to acquire or utilize property in the Kingdom: Obtaining and activating a digital ID via the government's Absher platform Opening a Saudi bank account Registering a local contact number By streamlining transactions and boosting regulatory oversight, the new measure will attract more foreign investment into Saudi Arabia's evolving real estate market.
