Attention turns to the match between Al-Hazm and Al-Fateh in the 9th round of the Saudi Pro League, where Algerian Sofiane Bendebka prepares to face his former team after spending six seasons with them before moving to Al-Hazm last summer.
Sofiane Bendebka made a significant impact during his time with Al-Fateh, scoring 47 goals and providing 23 assists, bringing his total contributions to 70. This confirms his status as one of the influential players in the team during his years in Al-Ahsa.
The player started his journey with Al-Hazm promisingly, contributing to a goal for Ahmed Al-Shamrani against Abha in the first round, and then found the net against Ittihad in the third round, gathering two goal contributions during the first eight rounds.
Sofiane Bendebka has fond memories of his previous encounters against Al Hazm, having contributed to Al Fateh's victory with a score of four goals to three during the 27th round of the 2019-2020 season, scoring one goal and assisting two for Mitchell Te Fredy and Abbas Al Hassan.
The player's connection to Al-Ahsa goes beyond football, as the city that hosted his career for six seasons also witnessed the birth of his son, giving his return personal and family dimensions. He is now looking to prove his abilities with Al-Hazm against his former team.
