The 2025 Saudi Super Cup was the 12th edition of the Saudi Super Cup, an annual football competition for clubs in the Saudi Arabian football league system that were successful in its major competitions in the preceding season.

Contents

On 13 June 2025, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) announced that the Super Cup would be held in Hong Kong from 19 to 23 August 2025 after signing a sponsorship deal with SUM KM Sport. [1] [2]

Al-Ahli defeated Al-Nassr 5–3 on a penalty shoot-out after a 2–2 draw in the final, securing their second title and first since 2016. [3]

Qualification

The tournament was supposed to feature the winners and runners-up of the 2024–25 King Cup and 2024–25 Saudi Pro League. However, since Al-Ittihad were the Pro League and King Cup winners, the extra spot was awarded to the Pro League third-placed team. [4]

On 21 July 2025, Pro League runners-up Al-Hilal withdrew from the tournament, citing fitness and scheduling issues following their participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. [5] Their spot was awarded to the Pro League fifth-placed team, Al-Ahli, as the fourth-placed, Al-Qadsiah, had already qualified based on their King Cup runners-up performance. [6] On 5 August 2025, the Saudi FF announced that Al-Hilal were banned from participating in the next edition of the Saudi Super Cup and fined them 500,000SAR. [7]
