RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA—While his former Toronto FC teammates trained in California, a smiling Sebastian Giovinco was introduced 13,300 kilometres away to his new fans in Saudi Arabia.
The 32-year-old Italian striker took to the field at halftime of Al-Hilal FC’s 4-1 win over Al-Fateh in Saudi league play Monday night at King Saud University Stadium.
