The principle of equal opportunities is the most important principles of sport in all its forms and forms, and football is certainly not an exception to this principle, and equal opportunities clearly mean that all competing teams in championships have the same rights and opportunities, and the same laws are applied to them, with the aim of giving legitimacy and right to win competitions to those He possesses merit and excellence, and the best effort is only inside the green rectangle, without getting any advantage from outside the stadium, making him eligible to win more than others on the field!

Perhaps this important sporting principle, without which the competitions are not straightforward, was clearly absent from the naturalization issue that preoccupied sports public opinion in the Emirates in the previous days, and with our agreement on the necessity of naturalization in the next stage, in the current situation it gave preference and distinction to certain clubs without the rest Clubs, in a way that greatly affects the course of football competition in the country, which means the absence of justice and equality, and the distinction of teams over others in a way that leads to the absence of taste, competition, anticipation and football enthusiasm.

Without any doubt, it became clear after the completion of the naturalization process for Al-Wahda Tigali club, and Al Ain club player Kayo Canido, that the two clubs would have the advantage of obtaining distinguished professional players, and another advantage that would allow them to include another foreign player in their ranks, and thus they had a preference in the participation of five Super players in local tournaments, which will affect the form and path of competition with the rest of the clubs in the Arab Gulf League, no one can deny that, nor can anyone deny the frustration that will spread among the other clubs!

I return and renew the importance of naturalization in the next stage, because the national team has become an urgent need to support it with distinguished players, and international law does not prevent this, but provided that naturalization is organized and not selective, and that clear conditions and laws are known to everyone, and it does not affect the principle of equal opportunities, it is true that The national team will benefit from naturalization, but the benefit of certain clubs has become more than the benefit of the team, and this is becoming clear to everyone.

We have previous experience, when the Al-Jazira club naturalized the player, Ibrahim Diaky, in 2006 it was put up for public auction for clubs wishing to sign him, with one goal, which is to give clubs the right to benefit from him a citizen player, in order to achieve the principle of equal opportunities, but what happened last week He never maintained this principle!

In Europe, for example, the principle of equal opportunities is a red line, and it should never be crossed. The European Football Association has imposed a fair play law since the beginning of 2012, and this law monitors the expenses and revenues of clubs, in order to achieve the principle of equal opportunities among all clubs in competition, so that no club A financial advantage in attracting top players using their financial capabilities, and it protects clubs from bankruptcy and exaggeration.

European law also aims to push clubs to pay attention to talents and young ages, and to balance their budgets so that expenses are equivalent to revenues, and get out of their financial problems instead of wasting money in attracting players, so do we realize here? Do we regain the principle of equal opportunities in everything, so that we can restore the competition its true flavor and taste, and give the diligent an opportunity to prove his diligence ?!
