It appears no day has passed in the past year without Al Fahim being in the news. Last July he mounted a takeover bid for Premier League club Portsmouth. However, he sold it just 42 days after seizing control, with the club eventually going into administration.

In December 2008, Al Fahim was appointed by the Intergovernmental Institution for the use of Micro-algae Spirulina Against Malnutrition (IIMSAM) as a Goodwill Ambassador at Large in support of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals by encouraging the use of Spirulina to eradicate malnutrition.
