The Saudi Girls' U-17 Premier League (Arabic : الدوري الممتاز للناشئات), founded as the Saudi Women's U-17 Tournament before changing to its current name after the 2024–25 season. It is the main competition for girls under-17 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
History
Following the growing interest and participation in women's football in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) announced the establishment of the Saudi Women's U-17 Tournament as part of its efforts to develop the women's game in the Kingdom. [1] The competition was created to nurture a new generation of female footballers and to increase the number of official matches available to them, thereby enhancing the technical standards of players. [2]
The inaugural edition included clubs with Under-17 teams as well as three Regional Training Centers (Arabic: مراكز التدريب الإقليمية). Teams were required to register between 14 and 40 players, with eligible ages ranging from 12 to 17 years. [1] Matches were played in a nine-a-side (9v9) format, consisting of two halves of 35 minutes each. Teams were divided into regional groups, with the top two from each group advancing to the knockout stage, which included the quarter-finals, semi-finals, final, and a third-place playoff. [1]
In the second edition, participation was limited to clubs from the Saudi Premier League and First Division. [3] The format was expanded to five groups, and the knockout phase featured 14 qualified teams. Matches were also played under the standard eleven-a-side format, marking a further step toward aligning with international competition standards. [4]
In 2025, the competition was renamed the Saudi Girls' U-17 Premier League and adopted a season-long home-and-away format, featuring seven of the 8 clubs from the 2025–26 Saudi Women's Premier League. [5]
