BeIN MEDIA GROUP reported that Saudi Arabia decided to appeal a case before the World Trade Organization, which it had been claiming during the past weeks that it had obtained a ruling in its favor.
"After Saudi Arabia spent the past six weeks telling the world how the decision of the World Trade Organization was" completely innocent of the kingdom, "the network said - via tweets on its Twitter account - it went back to appeal against the case it was claiming decisive victory before, It is surprising, rather than complying with international law. "
The network considered that Saudi Arabia "has lied since last June to governments and rights holders in the world of sport regarding the decision of the World Trade Organization, and said that the English Premier League, FIFA and UEFA have sent their legal claims to the wrong e-mail 9 times."

The network indicated that Saudi Arabia’s decision coincides with its attempts to “pass the test of honesty and fight piracy under the rules of the Premier League, and is trying to win the confidence of the international sports community, as part of a Saudi quest to acquire Newcastle.
The BBC reported that Saudi Arabia "has permanently banned the official broadcaster of the English Premier League matches from working on its soil, which means that the only way to see excellent sports in the Kingdom is through piracy."
Last June, the WTO condemned Saudi Arabia for violating the rights of BN Sports, stating that Riyadh was involved in violating intellectual property laws by being behind the BoutQ network for piracy.
