Neymar Celebrates Saudi Founding Day in Saudi Style!

Brazilian football star and Al Hilal player Neymar celebrated Saudi Founding Day with his teammates in traditional Saudi attire including a thobe, ghatra (men's headdress), and bisht (black garment worn over thobe).

Al Hilal shared the pictures of the football star on their Instagram page.

Other Al Hilal players were also adorned in the traditional Saudi attire for the Founding Day celebrations including Salman Al Fraj.

Other than the players, Al Hilal's manager Jorge Jesus was also dressed in the traditional Saudi attire for the Founding Day festivities. 

He even held a falcon on his arm and played with it!

The Hilal team not only dressed up in traditional attire on Saudi Founding Day, but they also watched live Ardah performances (traditional Saudi dance).

Neymar has returned to Saudi Arabia as he continues his rehabilitation from a long-term knee injury. 

Seeing him participate in the Saudi Founding Day festivities was truly a treat for many fans!
