Summary
Al-Taawoun and Al Nassr meet on the opening day of the Saudi Pro League in the matchweek 1 fixture of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League at the King Abdullah City Stadium. Jorge Jesus has arrived as the manager of Al Nassr after leaving Al Hilal at the end of the season, replacing Stefano Pioli, who failed to deliver AFC Champions League football for this season.
Al-Taawoun have appointed Pericles Chamusca over the summer to take charge of the team. The ultimate journeyman coach, the Brazilian is set for his 33rd managerial role, having begun his career in 1994. Al-Taawoun had an impressive last season by finishing eighth in the points table, but the gap was huge between them and the top sides. A whopping 15 points separated them from sixth place, while Al Ahli, who came fifth, were 22 points ahead. The Wolves would have been devastated by how their AFC Champions League 2 campaign went; they were eliminated by Al Sharjah in the semi-finals 2-1 on aggregate, despite winning the first leg. After going out of the competition, their league form also suffered, as they won just two of their final nine games, losing five. Pericles Chamusca hopes the new campaign acts as a fresh slate. They have done some reasonable business this summer with the additions of the likes of Faycal Fajr, Musa Barrow, and Roger Martinez.
Al Nassr finished in third place in the Saudi Pro League last season, which was a letdown as the club have failed to compete for the title since adding Cristiano Ronaldo to their ranks in 2023. Ronaldo is still trophyless since moving to Saudi Arabia, but the AFC Champions League 2 offers a very real route to silverware, proven it's Asia's equivalent of the Europa League, and they will face Al Zawraa from Iraq, Istiqlol Dushanbe from Tajikistan and FC Goa from India. Preseason has been very busy for Al Nassr; they played four friendlies, beating St Johann, Toulouse, and Rio Ave before losing to Almeria ahead of the Saudi Super Cup. They were battling adversity following Sadio Mane's red card, but Al Nassr still managed to beat reigning Saudi champions Al Ittihad 2-1 in the semi-final, helping them advance into the final against Al Ahli. It looked like Ronaldo was finally going to put his hands on the trophy after Brozovic gave them a 2-1 lead with eight minutes left in the final, before Roger Ibanez levelled at the death, and Al Nassr were first to blink, losing 5-3 in the penalty shootout.
