Saudi Super Cup: Al Nassr to Face Al Ittihad Tonight

Tonight, Hong Kong Stadium will host the highly anticipated clash between Al Nassr and Al Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup semi-final.

Al Nassr step into the match full of confidence after an active summer transfer window, determined to deliver their first official trophy alongside Portuguese icon Cristiano Ronaldo and make amends for last season’s setbacks. For the Riyadh side, victory over Ittihad would provide a huge boost ahead of the new Saudi Pro League campaign, especially with the spotlight on the duel between former Real Madrid legends Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

Al Ittihad, meanwhile, arrive as the reigning league and cup champions, aiming to extend their dominance.

The “Tigers” see the Super Cup as a chance to complete a historic treble, strengthening their status at home and building momentum before the challenges of the upcoming season.

While Ittihad qualify as league and cup holders, Al Nassr earned their spot in the competition by finishing third last season. The winner of this high-profile encounter will face either Al Ahli or Al Qadsiah in the final, scheduled for Wednesday.

The tournament, running from August 19 to 23, is being staged in Hong Kong as part of the Saudi Football Federation’s efforts to expand the global footprint of its domestic competitions.
