This marks Al-Ahli's second Saudi Super Cup win, the first coming in 2016/17. They also won the AFC Champions League in 2024/2025 the previous year. The league season will begin shortly.
Al-Ahli are constantly striving to improve their performance and become even stronger. This season, they have only spent around €38.80 million on signings so far.
It seems like Al-Ahli is a team that's adept at winning awards. In the Saudi Pro League, they haven't been as prominent as Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr, or Al-Hilal. But in other competitions, Al-Ahli has consistently been the most reliable team, garnering more attention for reaching the final and even winning it. But the season hasn't even started yet. It's possible that this time, Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal won't be the strong contenders for the title. It could be Al-Ahli who will now have their turn to compete for the title. But I see many people here hoping for Al-Nassr to win the trophy this season in the Saudi Pro League. I understand why, as it's all about Cristiano Ronaldo. And I think I can hope for the same.
Al-Nassr has also signed good players, and I believe they can achieve this with Cristiano Ronaldo this year. I believe this year is the year for Cristiano Ronaldo to win the championship in the Saudi Arabian Pro League. They lost the last cup final in dramatic fashion on penalties. I hope this is the last of his misfortunes. In this long league marathon, I hope Cristiano Ronaldo will be the captain and lift the championship trophy at the end of the year.
