Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo

HONG KONG, Aug 21: All eyes will be on the Hong Kong International Stadium at 3:00 PM on Saturday, as Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr face off in the Saudi Super Cup final.

Portuguese star and Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo brings a strong record against Al-Ahli into the showdown, aiming to secure another Super Cup title. Al-Ahli reached the final after a 5-1 win over Qadsia, while Al-Nassr defeated Al-Ittihad 2-1.

Ronaldo has faced Al-Ahli four times in the Roshn Saudi Professional League, winning three matches and drawing once, remaining undefeated against the team.

Among Saudi clubs backed by the Public Investment Fund—Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Ahli—Ronaldo boasts his best goal-scoring average against Al-Ahli. He has scored three goals in four matches, averaging 0.75 goals per game. By comparison, he scored five goals in seven matches against Al-Ittihad (0.71 goals per game) and three goals in eight matches against Al-Hilal (0.37 goals per game).

Al-Ahli enters the final aware that past results cannot determine tomorrow’s outcome. Following a dominant offensive performance against Qadsia, the team is eager to break Ronaldo’s unbeaten streak and claim the Super Cup.

Al-Nassr, on the other hand, enters the match with high confidence, looking to extend its recent dominance over Al-Ahli. With Portuguese stars Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix, guided by experienced coach Jorge Jesus, the “Global Club” is well-positioned to contest the title.
