Al-Ittihad and Al-Qadisiyah Face Off in a Historic King’s Cup Final
Tonight’s clash between Al-Ittihad and Al-Qadisiyah in the final of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup isn’t just another football match — it’s a moment etched in the legacy of Saudi football. As fans gather and anticipation reaches fever pitch, both teams walk into this final with fire in their hearts and history on their minds.
Let’s talk numbers first — and what stands out immediately is Al-Ittihad’s legacy in this competition. As the first club to win the title three times in a row (1958, 1959, and 1960), Al-Ittihad has long been a pillar of this championship’s prestige. Their journey to tonight’s final adds another chapter to that story. Having already clinched the Saudi Pro League title this season, they now stand at the edge of a potential domestic double — and what a way that would be to cap off a dream season.
On the other side, Al-Qadisiyah’s presence in this final is nothing short of inspiring. They've never won this cup before, but their path to the final has been anything but easy. Defeating Al Orubah, Al Wehda, Al Tawooun, and Al Raed — this team has shown grit, form, and belief. This match isn’t just about a trophy for them; it’s about rewriting their club’s history.

It’s also worth mentioning how the stakes go beyond silverware. Because Al-Ittihad already qualified for the AFC Champions League Elite by finishing in the top three of the league, Al-Qadisiyah, despite finishing fourth, have also secured a Champions League Elite spot due to their Cup final berth. So tonight, both sides are not only fighting for glory, but also for momentum going into next season’s continental battles.
Player-wise, the names light up the pitch. From Benzema and Fabinho to Aubameyang and Kante, Al-Ittihad boasts a lineup filled with international stars and experience. Al-Qadisiyah, meanwhile, rely on collective strength and hunger, supported by a group of players determined to make their mark on the grandest domestic stage.
Statistically, the odds favor Al-Ittihad. Out of their past head-to-head meetings, Al-Ittihad has won 16 compared to Al-Qadisiyah’s 2. Yet, in a knockout final like this, history can only carry you so far — it’s about who wants it more tonight.
With kickoff set for 11:30 PM at Al Inma Bank Stadium in Jeddah, the scene is perfectly set. Under the lights, in front of a packed stadium, two clubs with very different stories arrive at the same point — a King’s Cup final that promises fireworks.
No matter which side lifts the trophy, this is a night that will be remembered for years in Saudi football.
