Abu Dhabi, UAE - The Advisory Board of the management of the company 'Al-Ain' issued a warning regarding certain media outlets and the creators of content regarding the continued support of negative phenomena, inconsistent with the values and principles of our conservative society, without any justification, except for the segregation of divisions and conflicts.

"We have monitored some violations in the media in recent times, including obvious promotional behavior and deviation from the text, and will not engage in accepting legal measures against those who poorly relate to our club, be it the team, players, or our traditional fans," - is stated in the club's announcement.

A member of the football management board, who oversees information matters, emphasized that the doors of the 'Al-Ain' club remain open to all media, and that the club operates on principles of transparency, refraining from disseminating false information or spreading rumors. At the same time, he noted that the use of the name of the 'Al-Ain' club through official media or social networks for personal interests is not tolerated.

Al-Kutbi assessed the active role of balanced and outstanding sports journalism, which raises the level of sports value and reflects the values of integrity and professionalism, based on accuracy and objectivity. He stated that "the 'Al-Ain' club is obliged to support the targeted direction and transparent means of mass information, which serve public benefit and contribute to strengthening the sport’s integrity mission," passing greetings to the journalists, who continue to act responsibly and professionally in front of the conservative sports community through prominent and trustworthy informational messages.
