Saudi media figure Ibrahim Al-Faryan presented French striker Karim Benzema, the forward for Al-Ittihad Club and reigning champion of the Saudi Pro League, with a copy of the Quran in French. Ibrahim Al-Faryan shared a video on his X platform (formerly Twitter), showing him gifting Benzema as he was leaving accompanied by security. The Saudi media figure commented on the video, saying: "I gave him a copy of the Quran translated into French."
Al-Faryan also generated attention over the past two days after gifting a Rolex watch to Brazilian player Fabinho following Al-Ittihad's match against Al-Raed (3-0), marking the beginning of the "Tigers'" campaign to defend their title in the Pro League.
