    Venue

    The Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City was announced as the venue of the final on 4 July 2024. [5] This was the first time the tournament was hosted in Abha.

    The Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City was built and opened in 1984. [6] The stadium was used as a venue for the 2022 Arab Cup U-20 and the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup, and the 2019 AFC Asian Cup. It is used by Abha and Damac as a home stadium.

    Background

    As part of the running sponsorship deal between the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) and the Diriyah company, the match was officially referred to as "The Diriyah Saudi Super Cup". [7]

    This will be Al-Nassr's fifth appearance in the final. Al-Nassr lost the 2014 and 2015 finals to Al-Shabab and Al-Hilal respectively and won the 2019 and 2020 finals against Al-Taawoun and Al-Hilal. Al-Nassr qualified by defeating Al-Taawoun 2–0 in the semi-finals. [8]

    Al-Hilal will be making their seventh finals appearance, the most by any club. They won the title four times, in 2015, 2018, 2021, and 2023. Al-Hilal qualified after defeating Al-Ahli in a penalty shoot-out after a 1–1 draw in the semi-finals. [9]

    This will be the fourth meeting between these two sides in the Saudi Super Cup and the sixteenth meeting in a cup final. Al-Hilal previously defeated Al-Nassr 1–0 in the 2015 final and 2–1 in the 2023 semi-final. Al-Nassr defeated Al-Hilal 3–0 in the 2020 final. In the fifteen previous cup final meetings, Al-Nassr won eight times, while Al-Hilal won seven times. This will be the 185th competitive meeting between the two sides in all competitions. In the clubs' 184 previous meetings, Al-Hilal won 72, Al-Nassr won 59 and the remaining 53 were drawn. [10]
