Preview: Al-Nassr Vs Al-Qadisiyah
Only three points separate the two sides:
Cristiano Ronaldo was released early by the Portugal national team from international duty and he will be back for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. The Knight of Najd will host Al Qadisiyah on Matchday 11 at the Al-Awwal Park. The hosts are currently sitting third on the league table only behind their eternal rivals Al Hilal and Al Ittihad.
From their opening 10 matches, they have racked up 22 points with six wins and four draws. They are yet to taste a defeat in the ongoing league campaign and are one of the favourites to challenge for the league title.
Al Qadisiyah on the other hand are enjoying a stellar season so far as well. The Knights of the East currently find themselves in the fifth spot in the league table. They have 19 points to their name right now and can go level on points with Al Nassr if they manage to beat them in this mouth-watering clash. Head coach Míchel has done a fantastic job with Al Qadisiyah in their first season back in top-flight football since 2020/21.
A win will be the most desired outcome for both the teams and we can expect an end-to-end encounter. Both teams are playing incredible football this season and anticipation among fans is high for their match.

About Saudi Pro League:
History
The Saudi Pro League (SPL), known as the Roshn Saudi League (RSL)for sponsorship reasons, is the highest division of association football in the Saudi league system.
The first season of competition was the 1976–77 season. The league had been operating as a round-robin tournament from its inaugural season until the 1989–90 season, after that the Saudi Federation decided to merge the football League with the King's Cup in one tournament and the addition of the Golden Box. The Golden Box would be an end of season knockout competition played between the top four teams of the regular league season. These teams would play at a semi-final stage to crown the champions of Saudi Arabia. The league reverted to a round-robin system in the 2007–08 season..
The association is also regularly ranked with the highest coefficient in Asia due to the successful and consistent performances in the AFC Champions League Elite, Asian Super Cup & Asian Cup Winners' Cup by its clubs. Al-Hilal is the most successful team, holding 19 titles in its history and most recently winning the title in 2023–24. Al-Shabab, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr are also some of the most successful teams in the league.
Beginning in 2023, the league started experiencing widespread international exposure due to attracting numerous top level players from European leagues through financially lucrative contracts, immediately becoming a star-studded league. The nation's Public Investment Fund took 75% stakes in four founding members (Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al-Nassr) in the same year as part of the Saudi Vision 2030 program.
