On the eve of the decisive match that will determine the last promotion spot to LaLiga, messages of support for Unión Deportiva Almería have multiplied. One of the latest and most significant comes from Turki Al-Sheikh, the club's previous leader, under whom the team achieved promotion to the top tier in the 2021-2022 season, also finishing as leaders of the Segunda División.
Despite handing over ownership of the club last May to his compatriot Mohamed Al-Khereiji, Al-Sheikh has continued to closely follow his former team's progress, interacting on social media throughout the campaign. Recently, he shared a post to encourage the red-and-white squad in their quest for their fourth promotion to Spanish top-flight football.
“"Dear Almerians, we must fight and support the team to return to where you belong, LaLiga."
The Saudi businessman, who boasts over seven million followers on his X account, remains involved in the entertainment and event promotion industry. In recent times, he has been linked with the potential acquisition of English Championship clubs, such as the historic Derby County, although no concrete agreements have been announced yet.
