The wait for the Saudi's top-tier football competition is over, as the 51st edition has arrived with more drama, thrill, and rivalries this time.
The Saudi Pro League, also officially known as the Roshn Saudi League, is set to take a new high this season, with global stars and the most exciting upcoming talents from different clubs. The involvement of some iconic international talents like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, and Riyad Mahrez has helped shape the league into a globally recognized tournament.
This season will feature 18 teams, where 15 teams from the last season have retained their spot and 3 teams have been promoted from the Saudi First Division League. Al-Najma and Neom earned their automatic promotions to the Pro League, while Al-Hazem got their last seat reserved with the playoff qualifications. They replaced three relegated teams: Al-Raed, Al-Orobah, and Al-Wehda.
The Saudi Pro League has a tradition of exhibiting some fierce local derbies, filled with thrilling football entertainment throughout the season. Famous clubs like Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, and Al-Ittihad have done major changes this season, adapting a key strategic approach to not only nurture the talents but also capitalize on the opportunities this season.
