What I Cover

I write about Bahraini sport — football, the motorsport weekends at Sakhir, and the grassroots clubs that quietly feed both with the next generation of talent.

My Background

I've been on the sports desk since my twenties, close enough to the games to know that the real drama is usually off the scoreboard.

Journalistic Ethics

I credit the athletes and question the institutions. Fandom is fine on the terraces; on the page my job is to be fair to everyone I write about.
