Nabil Fekir swaps UAE for Saudi Arabia in latest move

Nabil Fekir's Middle East adventure continues. The French attacking midfielder left Europe in the summer of 2024 and spent two seasons with Al-Jazira in the UAE. Now 33, he has agreed to a fresh challenge in Saudi Arabia, joining Abha after his contract with the Emirati club expired. Abha earned promotion last season by winning the Saudi second division. Fekir arrives on the back of a solid individual campaign that brought nine goals and three assists in 19 matches.
