RIYADH: Real estate developer ROSHN has signed a three-year deal to become the platinum sponsor of Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad.

This sponsorship is part of the Public Investment Fund-owned company’s support for the development of the Kingdom’s sports sector, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Thursday.

ROSHN Group CEO David Grover described Al-Ittihad as an important part of the Saudi sports scene, citing the team’s recent signing of French superstar striker Karim Benzema.

Abdulwahab Abed, the CEO of Al-Ittihad, said the sponsorship deal comes at the end of a successful season during which the club won the Saudi Super Cup and the Roshn Saudi League. The sponsorship will allow the team to expand and develop, he added, particularly as it prepares to play regionally and internationally next season.

ROSHN has previously sponsored the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Jeddah and the LIV Golf Invitational, also in Jeddah.

TANGIER, Morocco: Iliman Ndiaye scored the only goal as Senegal booked a semifinal berth at the Africa Cup of Nations for the third time in the last four tournaments, beating 10-man Mali 1-0 in the last eight on Friday.
Ndiaye netted after 27 ⁠minutes, taking advantage of a goalkeeping howler to put Senegal ahead in a tense derby against their west African neighbors.
Mali were reduced to 10 men for ⁠the second half after captain Yves Bissouma was sent off for a second caution on the stroke of halftime.
He was booked first for a clumsy challenge in the 25th minute and was dismissed after a needless foul on ⁠Idrissa Gana Gueye.
Mali were down to 10 men from the 26th minute of their previous clash against Tunisia and still managed to squeeze through on penalties but there was no recovery this time around against a polished Senegalese outfit.
