ItzBIM:
Some especially old people don’t like to change the environment they have been accustomed to. Take him to China when all his friends are in Nigeria so that he can lonely and miserable.

Well said. He must have tried but the old man must have refused. Convincing old people to relocate is like looking for a pin in sambisa forest

Barcelona have denied that former president Sandro Rosell illegally bought a liver for ex-France defender Eric Abidal.

Abidal, 38, who is now the club’s technical secretary, had a transplant in 2012 after a tumour was found in his liver.

The French defender required a transplant during his time at the Camp Nou and it was said at the time that the liver was donated by his cousin Gerard, however it is now being claimed that this was not the case.

According to a report in El Confidencial, Rosell acted illegally to ensure the player received an organ transplant.

On April 20, 2017, the newspaper state that Rosell spoke to an unknown person in a phone call and that they discussed the situation, with the caller revealing that he had explained the situation to new Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu.

“I asked [Bartomeu] if he had a minute and I explained it to him and he got angry,” the caller reportedly said.”We had sold [the idea] that it was the cousin.”We paid him two years of contract, what was remaining.”Exactly one week later there was another phone call, this time with someone known as Juanjo, and the pair discussed Abidal, referring to him as “a son of a bitch”

Then, on April 28, 2017, Juanjo and Rosell spoke again and it was during this phone call that it was suggested the liver had been purchased.”Abidal is a son of a bitch and he told me to tell my friend that he’d behaved poorly with him,” Juanjo told Rosell.”I told him, ‘look Abi, if you’re here and talking then it’s because you have a new liver, do you understand?'”And he told me no.

“Well, if you don’t understand that then you don’t understand anything about life.”The call ended, before resuming again shortly afterwards.”I told Abidal ‘if you’re here sitting talking with me right now then it’s because somebody bought you a liver, eh?'”At that point they agreed to meet the following week and they said their goodbyes.Barcelona, though, have denied that the claims made are true.

“There was no type of irregularity in the player’s liver transplant,” a club spokesperson said.”We have complete confidence in the Hospital Clinic and don’t doubt Abidal’s honour or that of his foundation.”

Reports in Spain claim Rosell, who was arrested for money-laundering in 2017, purchased the organ.

Barcelona say they “roundly deny any irregularity in the matter”.

The claim has also been denied by Abidal and the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona, where the player had the operation.

Barcelona added: “The club are saddened by the lack of rigor in the spreading of such information about such a sensitive issue.”

Abidal, who spent six seasons at the Nou Camp, made his comeback for Barcelona in April 2013 before joining Monaco three months later.

Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel has revealed that his father was kidnapped hours before the World Cup clash against Argentina last Tuesday.

According to KweseESPN, Mikel received a call from the kidnappers four hours before kickoff in the decisive World Cup clash in St Petersburg, and they demanded N10 Million ($28,000 US) for the safe return of his father, Pa Michael Obi.

The elder Obi was on his way to a funeral in south eastern Nigeria from Jos when he was abducted along the Makurdi-Enugu expressway on June 26. He and his driver were rescued by police, after a “gun duel,” on July 2, nearly a week after the kidnapping.

Mikel’s father was then taken to hospital for treatment, with family sources telling KweséESPN that the elderly man had been tortured and required multiple stitches. He returned to hospital on Tuesday after some of the sutures broke, and Mikel is considering flying his father abroad for further treatment.

Mikel, speaking to KweséESPN after the rescue, said that he did not tell his bosses at the Nigeria Football Federation, nor did he tell his coach Gernot Rohr, but instead kept the situation to himself and opted to face Lionel Messi’s team as if nothing was amiss.

“I was confused. I did not know what to do, but in the end I knew that I could not let 180 million Nigerians down,” Mikel said.

“I had to shut it out of my head and go and represent my country first. I was told that they would shoot my dad instantly if I reported to the authorities or told anybody.

“And I did not want to discuss it with the coach because I did not want my issue to become a distraction to the coach or the rest of the team on the day of such an important game. So as much as I wanted to discuss it with the coach, I could not do it.”

Nigeria lost that game 2-1 to Argentina and were eliminated from the World Cup. The midfielder flew home to England almost immediately to deal with the situation, and is scheduled to return to China, where he plays his club football, later on Tuesday.

Pa Obi was eventually rescued by the Nigeria Police on Monday at Egede, near Udi in Enugu State. The news was announced by the Enugu State Police Command via their official Twitter account, and only then did Mikel speak publicly about the incident.

Command spokesperson, Superintendent of Police Ebere Amaraizu said in a statement on Tuesday: “The abductors started calling to demand a ransom of N10 million before police operatives acted on intelligence information and swooped on them.

“In the process of the rescue, a gun duel ensued between police operatives and the kidnappers which forced the hoodlums to abandon their victims inside the forest and they were promptly rescued.”

This was the second time that Mikel’s father had been kidnapped. The first was in 2011, where he was released after 10 days. Security will be enhanced around the player’s family in Nigeria, according to Mikel’s advisor.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick has been asked to step down in compliance with the judgment of the Supreme Court delivered on April 27, 2018, which restored the orders of the Federal High Court, setting aside the purported election into the Executive Committee of the NFF held on September 30, 2014.

The Minister of Youth and Sports Solomon Dalung said in a statement on Monday that the directive followed a written notification signed for the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice requesting the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports to ensure compliance.

The notification states thus; "I have been directed to notify you of the Orders dated June 5th 2018 made by Honorable Justice M. H. Kurya sitting at the Federal High Court Jos in respect of the above mentioned suit between Yahaya Adama Vs Alhaji Aminu Maigari which states that the election of the NFF held on August 26, 2014 under the leadership of Amb Chris Giwa be given recognition pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice filed in this case and that the purported ban of the Executive Committee elected on August 26, 2014 from football activities of the NFF is unconstitutional, null and void.

"It is trite law that court orders are sacrosanct and any acts of disobedience to it constitutes threat to the rule of law. Consequent upon the above, you are hereby advised to comply with the orders of court made therein which for now, is the valid and binding order of court, in the absence of any other subsisting order or judgment to the contrary".

Consequently, Barrister Dalung has however directed the parties involved to comply with the court order.

“This is a court order and not from Dalung. I will not want to go to Kuje prison because of disobedience of court orders. Therefore, I hereby comply with the court orders of June 5th 2018, while Mr Amaju Pinnick and others are also directed to comply with same.”

The order compels the defendants, including the Minister of Youth and Sports, their servants, agents and privies howsoever, the Inspector General of Police and all law enforcement agencies to forthwith enforce the orders made by the court on 19th September 2014 and 23rd October 2014 and give recognition to the General Assembly Meeting and election of the NFF held on 26th August 2014 under the leadership of Amb Chris Giwa pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice filed in this case

Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi has been racially abused by a BeIN TV sports commentator, Gregory Paisley.

Paisley made the racist remark during Nigeria’s win over Iceland on Friday.

Reportedly talking about Leicester’s Ndidi, Paisley allegedly said: “[He] should take a Banania.”

Banania is a chocolate drink which is claimed to be linked with French colonialism.

It dates back to 1914 and was touted as providing drinkers with “strength and vigour”, using the slogan: “Y’a bon Banania.”

And after alleged condemnation by users on Twitter, beIN Sports issued the following statement.

It read: “BeIN Sports regrets that some of the comments that were [broadcast] during the Nigeria-Iceland match may have been judged offensive by some of you.

“[We] apologise to all the people who felt hurt and offended.”

Paisley, who played for the likes of PSG and Nice, added: “I said Banania as I could have said Poulain, Benco or Nesquik. I think that when you’re short of strength, that’s what you take in the morning, so that’s why I said Banania.

“I specify that one of my best friends is Senegalese and so that at no time I could say anything bad about Africans.”

Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo has admitted that he finds it difficult playing as a lone striker for the three-time African champions.

The Changchun Yatai forward has struggled to get goals in the colours of the national team under the Franco-German coach Gernot Rohr.

The former Watford striker says Rohr will decide the best system Super Eagles would set up for matches at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

“The coach has to decide how the team set up, but sometimes it is difficult to play as a lone striker in games especially when your opponent system at the back is compact. This is the pattern the coach has decided to play with, we have to work and blend with it,” said Ighalo.

Ighalo is optimistic the Super Eagles performance will improve against Iceland on Friday at Volgograd Arena.

“I think we did our best against Croatia but we couldn’t create enough scoring chances. Unfortunately, for us the first goal was a deflection and the second goal was a controversial penalty.

Even our defenders couldn’t explain it and they were surprised, but we can’t fault the referee and we respect his decision. We have to correct our mistakes, we have learnt our lessons and we shall improve our performance against Iceland,” he added.

Prior to his sack, it has been gathered that Spain’s players had intervened to convince the country’s football association not to sack manager Julen Lopetegui on the eve of the World Cup.

Speculation had been rife that Lopetegui could be fired just one day before this summer’s tournament in Russia is due to get underway, having been confirmed as the new Real Madrid manager on Tuesday.

New Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales was understood to be furious with the way Lopetegui handled the situation, having reportedly only found out about Madrid’s impending appointment five minutes before it was announced.

According to Spanish paper, Marca it claimed that the team’s players had tried to talk Rubiales out of sacking Lopetegui.

Spain and Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos reportedly led the protests in favour of his future manager.

La Roja, who are among the favourites to go all the way and lift the trophy this summer, get their campaign underway against Iberian rivals Portugal on Friday evening.

http://www.thesportsbay.com/how-sergio-ramos-led-spanish-players-to-save-julen-lopetegui-from-sack/

Spain have sacked manager Julen Lopetegui just one day before the start of the 2018 World Cup after he was confirmed as Zinedine Zidane's successor at Real Madrid and was due to step down as Spain boss following this summer's tournament in Russia.

However, the president of the Spanish FA (RFEF) Luis Rubiales revealed that the decision was made without his knowledge and that he was only informed of Madrid's impending appointment five minutes before the official announcement.

The news is a remarkable twist on the eve of the World Cup, with Spain - one of the favourites to lift the trophy prior to this development - due to kick off their campaign against Iberian rivals Portugal on Friday evening.

Rubiales confirmed that the players attempted to save Lopetegui's job, but insisted that the RFEF were unable to accept the way Lopetegui handled the situation.

"We have been forced to dispense with the national coach. We wish him the best of luck. What the Spanish team achieves, will have to do with the work he has developed," Rubiales told reporters at a press conference in Krasnodar.

"The negotiation has happened without any information to the RFEF, just five minutes before the press release. There is a way of acting that must be fulfilled. We have to work on a series of decisions that come two days before the beginning of the World Cup. There is a lot to do.

"I do not feel betrayed. Lopetegui, while he has been with us, has done an impeccable job. [However], this has been done without knowledge of the RFEF. We will touch the staff as little as possible, as soon as we have something to communicate, we will do it. I have a very close relationship with the players, as with Julen, it's a very complex situation, the most complex one I could find.

"We are in a very complicated situation, but the players and the new coaching staff will do everything in their power to take the team as far as possible. The Spanish national team is the team of the Spanish. You cannot do things this way, two or three days before the World Cup. We have been forced to make this decision.

"I admire Julen a lot, I respect him a lot, I think he's a top trainer and that makes it more difficult to make the decision. I'm sure this will, over time, make us stronger. I know it's a very difficult situation, I know there's going to be criticism whatever I do, but the values ​​of the RFEF are set by the RFEF itself. We cannot remain on the sidelines of a negotiation of one of its workers and find out five minutes before the issuance of a statement. We have been forced to act.

"The team will do everything to get the best results, we cannot talk about hypothesis, but the RFEF cannot find out five minutes before it becomes public. In the RFEF we cannot not fulfil our own values. It is a difficult and painful situation, we would have liked to finish here with Julen at the top, but we have not determined the way we act."

Lopetegui was unbeaten in his 20 matches as Spain boss, having taken over from long-serving Vicente del Bosque following the team's exit from Euro 2016.

Spain sporting director Fernando Hierro and Under-21 coach Albert Celades are expected to take the reins for the World Cup.

“On his way back, it was decided, for technical reasons, not to fly the chopper that had brought him to the venue. He drove back to the Presidential Villa & continued his schedule,” Akande tweeted.

You don't know how to tell lies.So the VP Protocol team put him on the chopper then decided to put him down while on air
Report have it that the chopper was emitting thick smoke while barely away from the ground yet these people are still telling lies even when lives are threatened.

Rise above hate. Akande said for technical reasons the VP couldnt fly. The chopper emitting thick smoke ain't technical?

Truly you have gone mad

This boy is a disgrace to other Nigerian footballers who are ballers.
See his Kabiru-made whack native.

Why is he still holding on to this local bushmeat girlfriend of his when there are lots of beauty queens yearning for his attention?

No matter how long they've been together,
he should just dump this girl for something classier.
She is not befitting enough.

These are obviously two different pictures. One he is in M-benz and other in a SUV and both have the presidential emblem. Fake News

This is Fake News! There are different pictures from different occasions. The people are seen hailing the president in a mercedez benz and at the same time hailing him in a SUV. Who is decievibg

I don’t know what you people are saying. I have taken women as h.oes and treated all Nigerian girls as the same.

I stopped dealing with women for 5 months to enable me save money to buy a car, because with a car you have unlimited access to their kitty even your friends wives and girls will follow you just so you know how cheap they are.

Once I fvck a naija gal, I just drop her at the busstop and leave #500 for her hand. Sometimes as soon as she steps off my car, I zoom off

If the girl like male she call me again if she doesn’t call me I get over 40 number ladies women way day disturb me for WhatsApp

Why spend for a leech when you got a car and bills to pay. I even bought a dog so to tell you I can’t afford to spend money on another being with complete legs and hands

Guys get sense pls and pls. Get a car if you don’t have. If you are on leggedis benz we way get car go fvck your babe and we don’t care how you feel atall

Very shallow thinking. You ought not to spew this kind of rubbish from your poverty-stricken mind. It baffles me when men like me think this way but if you are still a teenager between 18-25 years, I will say you are still growing up but if you are above that age, mehn, man you have a long way to go to be a responsible human being. Classifying all women as sluts is a huge disrespect to your mum, sisters, female cousins as well. Real men dont use women as intimacy gadgets that you can use just anyhow. I'm sure you will grow up and realise the folly in this your post. You will.

OP, You Lied In Your Mode Of Transportation. In that area, don't compare Abuja and Lagos. Abuja mode of transportation is very organised and decent. No Touts or Agberoes. Good road network in Abuja than Lagos...

When I was in Lagos, I woke up 4am to work and got home in 11pm but here in Abuja I walk up 6:30am to work then get home 6.00pm or 6:30pm
Op, before you say anything, I have experience in both places

Well said bruv!!! The Op has no idea what living in Abuja is compared to Lag. He may be right when it comes to accomodation but wrong in all other aspects. You can run different jobs at the same time, wake up 7am to get to your office by 8am, close from work by 5 and get home by 6pm. There is night life here in Abuja, a lot of hangouts where you will catch all the fun u need, even leave club by 2 am and get home safe withoit fear of armed robbery or police stopping you and shooting you. I have experienced both sides, Abuja is far better than Lagos to work. I will prefer to earn 70k in Abuja and spend 10k on transport than earn 100k in Lagos and spend 20k on transport coupled with stress from traffic

Manchester City who slipped to their first home defeat in the UEFA Champions League since December 2016 have broken the Champions League record for passes completed in a game - 978 - despite losing. This was three days after breaking the league landmark with 902 against Chelsea.

City's 4-0 away win meant Wednesday's second leg of the last-16 tie was almost a formality, with Pep Guardiola resting several first-team players as Basel won the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie 2-1.

It was not enough to prevent Pep Guardiola's side progressing to the quarter-finals, with Gabriel Jesus' early goal helping them to an overall 5-2 aggregate success - but it was still an unexpected slip.

Jesus put the Premier League leaders ahead inside eight minutes but the Swiss champions responded to take victory on the night with goals from the impressive Mohamed Elyounoussi and Michael Lang.


Guardiola made six changes from the side that beat Chelsea at the weekend with the likes of Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva among those not included -- and not surprisingly the intensity dropped.

Veteran Yaya Toure started for the first time in 13 games and 17-year-old Phil Foden was also given an opportunity.

But manager, Pep Guardiola was not too impressed, saying: "Just to pass the ball for itself is nothing.

"The first half was quite good but in the second half we forgot to attack, we forgot to play. When we pass the ball we do it to move through the opponents to attack. The second half was really, really poor.


"It is not easy to play with a 4-0 lead. I think in the first half we showed we wanted to win the game. We created a lot of chances and we were good.

"But after 1-1 in the second half, it didn't happen. We just passed for itself and when that happens, that is not football."

It is only the second time City have reached the quarter-finals of the European Cup or Champions League. Juventus, Real Madrid and Liverpool are the other sides to have clinched their last-eight spots this week.

Guardiola - who has won the Champions League twice with Barcelona but not since 2011 - is not worried about a repeat of the performance in the next round.

"In the quarter-finals, this kind of situation is not going to happen - to play the second game 4-0 up, the rhythm will be completely different," he said.

City's place in the last eight was never in doubt but they went through in subdued fashion and have still never won both legs of a Champions League knockout tie.

Ehibiggirl:
is it scripturally wrong? Please show us how can a man stop another man from partaking from Gods tabl?did Jesus enforce such things? God will help us Christians.

I cant speak for the parish but it is not allowed for a person who has not been confirmed (Confirmation marks the point in the Christian journey at which you affirm for yourself the faith into which you have been baptized and your intention to live a life of committed discipleship. This affirmation is confirmed through prayer and the laying on of hands by the confirming bishop.) You cant take the Holy Communion if you dont know what it is all about. Just like getting married without going through marriage classes and all that. Its spiritual guidance. As for the parish, it could be their rule as there are specific days for Holy Communion service. Because they are not sure you are confirmed, it was best for them to reject the person. I am just saying while not holding brief for them. Confirmation is the supernatural equivalent of the growth process on the natural level. It builds on what was begun in Baptism and what was nourished in Holy Eucharist. It completes the process of initiation into the Christian community, and it matures the soul for the work ahead

bigtt76:
Brings us to the question "which is best" - washing ass with water after poo or using toilet paper? I prefer water and I try as much as possible to do my number 2 first thing in the morning and before bathing too to avoid all this crap. Noticed a lot of people just poo and wear back their pants ...so disgusting

I prefer water to tissue paper. Its a ritual for me every morning before bathing or going out. I hate to use public toilets even in the best hotels or whatver because there wont be water but tissue. How do people who wear their pants without cleaning feel? Truly digusting

I am a member of Anglican church, traveled to a place where i decided to worship with an Anglican church, when the holy communion was going on i decided to go and receive holy communion on getting there, I was asked to go back because i didn't put on white shirt or a card to show.

pls, my follow Aglicans is it right?

I am Anglican from birth and still practice Anglicanism till tomorrow. Never heard about this but i may say that such parish dont know you and as you know its not right for someone not confirmed in the Anglican way to take the Holy Communion. And most likely its a parish not in town, maybe in a village. So it is likely is that parish's decision to prevent some people whom they are not sure are confirmed Anglicans in taking part in the Holy Communion

Football or soccer as it is called in some other climes is a sport with huge followership which cuts across all strata of the society.

In Nigeria, it is a unifying factor where warring groups or tribes sheath their swords for 90 minutes or at least 120 minutes before renewing hostility once again.

Football has so much impact and influence on a die-hard follower as well on the players themselves. Stories abound of individuals stabbing themselves to death over Manchester United vs Arsenal match or Real Madrid vs Barcelona match. This shows the extent at which football is ‘loved’.

Money is made and lost in football in all various forms. Happiness is sacrificed in place of heartbreaks from teams who consistently under perform. Arsenal fans are used to that already while Chelsea and Real Madrid fans are learning how to adapt to the situations. That’s sad!!!

Unfortunately, this year’s UEFA Champions League 2nd round will be played on the 14th of February which happens to be the day Valentine’s Day is celebrated. Interestingly, the matches to be played are between the very top and most popular clubs on earth – Real Madrid vs PSG and Chelsea vs Barcelona. These are matches that can’t be missed just like that.

On this day, there are two contrasting situations that could mar or unite some relationships. There is a complete dilemma for the men on who to choose – UEFA Champions League or a night out with their girlfriends, wives as the case may be.

It is even so confusing for a guy who probably must have invested time and energy and resources to woo a lady and the Vals’ Day would have been the perfect day for him to show that he cares but then top-rated football matches await him that night. What does he do?

If your woman is a sports lover just like the man, the night will be so perfect but if it is the other way round, that is where the confusion comes in. A real confusion that will involve a lot of talking, convincing on the part of the man. Good luck to him though!!!

One female twitter user rightly said that the day belongs to men and advised women to forget spending the day with their men at least from 8:45 pm – 10:30 pm. February 14, 2018, falls on a Wednesday and it is a working day. Most men would be in their various offices and there is no way they can go on a date until its night and the night here is UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOOTBALL NIGHT.

My humble self believes the thrills, mind-blowing skills, the anger at missed goal scoring opportunities, the shouts in a football match etc are better experienced than being told meanwhile, Valentines’ Day dates can be rescheduled till the weekend which will in fact will be devoid of noise, distractions and it will be great. On a lighter note, less babies will be born in November.

And this calls for an answer. To all the Madrid, PSG, Chelsea, Barcelona male fans, who do you choose on this day? Champions League football or a date with your lover?

Meanwhile, the men have the best opportunity now to make amends for their lovers before this day.

Former Arsenal defender, Emmanuel Eboue has revealed he is lonely and wants a chance to rebuild his life again while insisting he would be willing to travel to the Middle East to continue his playing career.

Eboue, 34, has not played since leaving Sunderland in 2016 after being handed a ban for failing to pay a former agent.

The Gunners’ cult hero previously revealed he had seriously considered taking his own life after financial mismanagement had left him penniless, with a bitter divorce meaning he has been estranged from his three children since the summer.

Eboue has now opened up about his recent downward spiral, insisting he wants to play football again, as he feels ‘abandoned’ and ‘completely alone’.

The free agent told French TV show Canal: ‘All I want is to return to football once more. I still possess the ability. I would even go to places like Baghdad or Pakistan just to play football. I don’t care where.

“I live with my bags already packed, as there is a chance I could be kicked out of my house.

“I don’t have anyone by my side nowadays. I feel abandoned. I used to get on well with my children and my family, and now I am completely alone.’

At the height of his career at the Emirates he took home a seven-digit sum every year during his time in North London, earning a further £1.5 million annually playing for Turkish giants Galatasaray.

However, with his former wife Aurelie being awarded of all the couple’s assets, he has been forced to dodge police and bailiffs following a court order – insisting he hand over his home in Enfield to her.

Heartbreakingly, Eboue has been unable to visit his kids since the estrangement from Aurelie back in June last year.

The 34-year-old, who once played in a Champions League final for Arsenal against Barcelona in 2006, has been hit hard with misfortune.
[url]
Only recently report went viral that he had committed suicide at his sister’s place in London, a report that was later discredited.[/url]

Some of his fans who read the initial death story and then the true position thanked God that he didn’t end his life that way.

Some prayed for him in the hope that either Galatasaray or Arsenal will remedy his situation.

However, those still angered by the legal battle with his wife that led to loss of everything, believe he can still head back to court if he is lucky to get a job and earn some money, accusing the wife of reaping where she did not sow

Eboue who began his football career with Asec Mimosa of Cote d Ivoire, played for Belgian club K.S.K. Beveren, making 70 appearances and scoring four goals for the side before moving ahead to play for Arsenal and Galatasaray respectively making 132 and 77 appearances for the clubs respectively.

Is it safe for me to say I love you?

Omudia11:
Some people are really perverts. I remember one of my dad's friend's that would sit me on his lap whenever he came visiting when I was a kid and try to touch me inappropriately. He did it on so many occasions. I was too young and didn't know how to report the issue. But finally I decided to tell my dad whenever he did it again but thankfully he never showed up again till many years later.

Secondly some people are truly not okay. There's this guy who had been disturbing me for months. Was even begging me to accept him but I declined. I met his gf and she told me she knew he was asking me out. I said well thank God you know I rejected him before you start fighting me. Then she said I should've considered him. What's wrong with people?

She wants to give the boyfriend some freedom as well as an escape route

Women in Saudi Arabia have watched football in a stadium in the Kingdom for the first time as they filed into a stadium in the city of Jeddah on Friday, through family gates into family seating.

But even segregated as they were, their presence in the stadium marked a significant moment for the Kingdom.

It follows a series of reforms intended to modernise the country.

Earlier on Friday, ahead of the football game, there was another small sign of change: the country's first car showroom dedicated to female customers was opened.

For the first time, women will this June be allowed to get behind the wheel, after it was announced in September that a ban on women drivers would be lifted.

Women at the car showroom milled around inspecting vehicles that they will be allowed to take out on the road when the ban ends.

At the stadium in Jeddah, female ushers were employed to greet the women fans and their families, who loudly cheered on the local team. Both ushers and fans wore the traditional black abaya robe.

A hashtag, translated as "the people welcome the entry of women into stadiums", was used tens of thousands of times in two hours as the match took place.

Lamya Khaled Nasser, a 32-year-old football fan from Jeddah, told AFP she was proud and looking forward to the match.

"This event proves that we are heading for a prosperous future. I am very proud to be a witness of this massive change," she told the AFP news agency.

Ruwayda Ali Qassem, another Jeddah resident, said it was a "historic day in the kingdom which culminates (in) ongoing fundamental changes".
