A Saudi man threatened he would divorce his wife if a Saudi football club loses the Asian league championship due to be played in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Saturday.

The husband in Riyadh made the threat after his wife joked with him that she does not support his favourite club Al Hilal.

“He threatened her that if Al Hilal loses the match, he will divorce her immediately,” Sabq daily said, quoting an official at the Riyadh-based Waei social centre.

The official said the wife had contacted the centre to report her husband’s threat to divorce her if Al Hilal, one of the most popular clubs in Saudi Arabia, loses the match against Australia’s Western Sydney Club at King Fahd Stadium on Saturday night.
