Erem News wrote: “Fahd bin Nafel, the club’s president, has agreed with officials that they will give the team’s players a large bonus. Each team member will receive a minimum of 2 million riyals as a bonus for defeating Manchester City.

This is a large amount of money but it is worth the efforts of the whole team. The management board wants to recognize the efforts of the players in the match and throughout the historical journey."
