  "summary": "Former Saudi Football Federation president Yasser Al-Misehal has announced that the federation's budget remains stable at nearly SAR 1 billion annually, with consistent monthly disbursements. In a recent press conference, Al-Misehal emphasized that there are no financial challenges facing the federation, attributing its stability to the generous support it receives. He highlighted that operations have been smooth over the past three years, with a comprehensive financial report prepared by an independent auditor covering the period from January 1 to the end of last July. Al-Misehal, who will continue to serve Saudi football, stated that his seven years of experience will benefit the sport through his membership in various committees and councils. He also mentioned his intention to meet with the new president, Badr Al-Eisa, to wish him and the board success in their upcoming responsibilities.",
