Hera Shabbir

French superstar Benzema just made his debut for Al Ittihad this Thursday, and the crowds went wild. Thousands of Ittihad fans showed up with banners and signs expressing their support and excitement for the player’s new season.

The player was more than happy to play for the Jeddah-based team and expressed his gratitude in a recent interview

Benzema said how he’s more than happy to be here and would like to elevate the football community in Saudi Arabia. He also stated,“It’s important also that Cristiano Ronaldo is in Saudi Arabia, because he’s a very big player. He brings a lot to the game in this country and that will further elevate their playing level. So it’s important to show that Saudi football can have a global impact because it’s not about playing in Saudi Arabia or not performing. No, on the contrary I have to push and show all that I was able to do in Europe and and bring it back with me to Saudi Arabia.”

Football fans in Saudi are already celebrating the presence of not one but two football superstars in the Kingdom
