In match allowing no absence and no excuses, Wihdat Club president Yousef Al-Saqour ‘Al-Mukhtar’ disappeared completely from scene during basketball clasico, at time club most needed leadership, not new vacuum added to chain of administrative and morale failures. Absence was not limited to stands, but total from picture: no VIP platform, no honorary seats, not even brief presence in Hussein Youth City facilities. Basketball clasico not ordinary fixture, but test of spirit, moment of motivation and message read before and after tip-off. Yet Wihdat team left to face pressure and result alone, amid suffocating administrative confusion, shaky technical atmosphere and fan frustration reaching peak in recent weeks. Scenes becoming repetitive, with name ‘Al-Mukhtar’ missing from decisive moments, absent when presence duty, not option. For Wihdat supporters, absence carries no justification and cannot be marketed as emergency or coincidence. It read as withdrawal from responsibility at most sensitive times. After all this, Wihdat fans ask: ‘Where is Al-Saqour?’ If Wihdat president not present at basketball clasico, when will he be?
