Al-Fateh are known across the Gulf as the "Model Club". Founded in 1958 and promoted to the top flight for the first time in 2009, they stunned Saudi football by winning the league title in 2012/13, eight points clear of Al-Hilal, and added the first Saudi Super Cup a few months later. They have stayed in the top division ever since, and 2026/27 is their 18th consecutive season in the Saudi Pro League.
This guide explains how ticketing works in the Saudi Pro League, what seats tend to cost, how to reach Al-Ahsa by rail, road or air and what to expect on a matchday in the Eastern Province. It also covers the club's history, its legends and the fixtures that tend to fill the stadium, so you can choose the right match before you choose the right seat.
Ticketing in the Saudi Pro League is centralised. Single-match tickets for every club, including Al-Fateh, are sold through the league's appointed ticketing partner, and sales for each fixture typically open only a few days before kick-off. For supporters based outside Saudi Arabia, that short window can be difficult to plan around, particularly when flights, trains and hotels need to be booked in advance.
A marketplace offers a different kind of planning. Sellers on 1BoxOffice can list seats for Al-Fateh's home fixtures ahead of time, so travelling supporters from the UAE, the wider Gulf and further afield can compare categories and prices side by side and secure a seat before arranging the rest of the trip. This is particularly useful for the visits of the league's biggest clubs, which fill the stadium.
The league's split between home and visiting supporters also shapes availability. When Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr or Al-Ittihad come to Al-Mubarraz, their supporters fill a large share of the visiting allocation, and demand from neutrals and home fans increases at the same time. That combination is what pushes the ground towards capacity for the headline fixtures.
The same flexibility helps groups. Families and groups of friends who want to sit together can search for adjacent seats across categories, and corporate visitors can look for premium options without needing a local ticketing account.
Know the rules before you buy. The league's ticketing platform states that tickets resold outside its own system may be cancelled without a refund, and each adult and child needs their own ticket. Read each listing's notes carefully, follow the delivery and entry instructions the seller provides and ask before you buy if anything about how the ticket will be issued or used is unclear.
1BoxOffice has been selling football tickets since 2006 and has built its marketplace around one principle: the buyer should know exactly what they are getting and be protected if something goes wrong. Sellers are verified before they list, payments run through a secure checkout and every order can be followed from confirmation to delivery.
The 150% money-back guarantee is the safety net behind it. If your tickets are not delivered and no comparable alternative is offered, you are eligible for a full refund, and a credit voucher worth 50% of the original order value (excluding fees and taxes, capped at £125) may also be issued. In practice, that means:
Al-Fateh draw modest but loyal crowds by the standards of the Saudi giants. In 2025/26 the club's home average was a little over 8,000, the highest of any club outside the league's traditional big four. The rebuilt stadium holds around 12,000, so the right fixture can bring it close to capacity.
Crowds have followed the club's fortunes and its move between grounds. In 2022/23, the last full season at the larger Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium, Al-Fateh averaged more than 10,000 and drew over 17,000 for the visit of Al-Nassr. Since moving to the smaller rebuilt ground, averages have settled between roughly 7,500 and 8,500, with the big-club fixtures pushing attendances above 11,000.
The league format adds to the interest. The Roshn Saudi League has 18 clubs, each playing 34 matches between August and May, and 2026/27 includes a long winter break while Saudi Arabia hosts the 2027 AFC Asian Cup. The bottom three are relegated, so every home point matters for clubs outside the big four.
These are the factors that move demand most:
The practical lesson is simple. For the visit of one of the big four, secure your seats as soon as your travel plans are fixed. For other fixtures, you can usually take more time and compare options.
Face values in the Saudi Pro League are among the lowest of any major league in Asia. League rules set a minimum ticket price of 10 Saudi riyals and require that around 30% of seats in each stadium are priced at 30 riyals or less. For the visit of Al-Hilal to Al-Fateh in 2025, the most affordable home category was priced at 10 riyals, mid-range categories ran from 30 to 75 riyals and the premium VIP category for visiting supporters cost 1,500 riyals.
Resale prices sit well above those face values, because international buyers are paying for advance availability, guaranteed seats and English-language support rather than the ticket itself. The visit of a big-four club typically commands the highest prices, while matches against smaller clubs are closer to face value. VIP and premium seats carry the largest mark-up, as their supply is limited.
Al-Fateh have also used free tickets to build crowds. The club has opened its gates without charge for selected matches in the past, including a visit from Al-Ahli in 2022, and a club supporter once paid for first-class seats for the visit of Al-Nassr. Offers like these are announced close to the match, so they cannot be planned around, but they show the club's focus on community support.
Judging value comes down to the opponent, the category and the timing. A general admission seat for a mid-table fixture is a very affordable way to experience the stadium, while a VIP seat for the visit of Al-Nassr or Al-Hilal is a premium purchase whenever you buy it. Compare the total price, including fees, across several listings before committing.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Saudi Pro League (standard fixtures) | £15 – £60 |
| Saudi Pro League (big-four visits: Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli) | £35 – £150+ |
| King's Cup | £15 – £100+ |
| Premium seats | £60 – £200 |
| VIP | £250 – £600+ |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.
Yes. Neither Al-Fateh nor the Saudi Pro League requires a paid club membership to buy a single-match ticket. Tickets are sold through the league's central ticketing platform, and anyone can create an account and buy once sales open for a fixture. The platform also offers early access and season passes for registered users, though the terms vary by club and season.
The practical barriers are about timing and access rather than membership. Sales typically open close to each match, the platform is designed mainly for buyers in Saudi Arabia, and the rules on transfers and resale are strict. For a supporter flying in from abroad, waiting for a short sale window is a risk when travel is already booked.
That leaves two realistic options for visitors: register on the league's platform and buy the moment sales open, or look for seats through a marketplace where listings already exist. For the visits of the big four, the second route gives you more time to plan.
The Saudi Pro League manages ticketing centrally through a single central platform, which has been the league's ticketing partner since the 2024/25 season. Clubs set their own categories and prices within league rules, and the platform handles sales, transfers and entry for every match. Understanding the system helps you avoid surprises at the gate.
The table below summarises the main rules that apply to Al-Fateh's home matches. Exact prices and categories are set for each fixture, so treat it as a guide to the system rather than a price list.
| Feature | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Sales platform | The league's appointed ticketing partner, used by every Saudi Pro League club |
| Price floor | Minimum ticket price of 10 riyals, with around 30% of seats at 30 riyals or less |
| Home and away split | Seats divided between home and visiting supporters under league rules |
| Tickets per person | Every adult and child needs their own ticket |
| Refunds | Not available unless the match is cancelled or moved |
| Transfers and resale | Handled through the platform's own gift and resale tools; tickets resold elsewhere may be cancelled |
The rebuilt Al-Fateh Club Stadium is a compact, football-only ground with four stands close to the pitch and a roof canopy over much of the seating. Seats are sold by category, from general admission areas priced at the league minimum to premium and VIP seats in the main stand, with a separate section for visiting supporters. For bigger matches, the visiting allocation can be substantial, as clubs such as Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr travel in large numbers.
The table below sets out what each type of seat suits. Category names and locations are confirmed for each fixture on the ticket listing.
| Category / Area | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| General admission (home) | Atmosphere and value | Lowest | The most affordable seats, where many home supporters sit |
| Mid-range categories | A good view at a moderate price | Mid | Side and corner seats with clear sightlines |
| Premium seats | Comfort and view | Higher | Central seats closer to the halfway line |
| VIP | Premium experience | Highest | Central main stand seats with added services |
| Visiting supporters' section | Away fans | Varies | A dedicated section for fans of the visiting club, with its own categories |
If you are travelling to support the visiting side, buy seats in the visitors' section, which is where your club's supporters will be. If you are a neutral or travelling with a family, the home and general areas offer a calmer experience, and the mid-range categories provide a good balance of view and price.
Families have been welcome at Saudi football stadiums since 2018, when women first attended league matches. Neutral visitors should choose seats in the home or general areas rather than the visiting section, and dress neutrally if you are not supporting either side.
The Saudi Pro League covers a vast country, from Jeddah on the Red Sea to Abha in the southern mountains and Neom in the far north-west. For Al-Fateh supporters, the shortest trips are to the Eastern Province clubs in Dammam, Al-Khobar and Saihat, while away days in Riyadh are a few hours by road or rail. Matches in Jeddah, Abha or Neom usually require a domestic flight.
League rules divide each stadium's seats between home and visiting supporters, and away tickets are sold through the same central platform. For fixtures at the big clubs' grounds in Riyadh and Jeddah, Al-Fateh supporters usually have plenty of choice, as those stadiums are much larger.
| Topic | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Away allocation | A share of each stadium's seats reserved for visiting supporters under league rules |
| Where to buy | The league's central ticketing platform |
| Short trips | Dammam, Al-Khobar and Saihat in the Eastern Province |
| Medium trips | Riyadh, by road or on the Riyadh to Dammam railway |
| Long trips | Jeddah, Abha, Neom and the north usually need a domestic flight |
Choosing a seat starts with deciding what kind of evening you want. A family, a group of friends and a corporate group all need something different. Use this table as a shortcut.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best atmosphere | Home general admission areas | Closest to the most vocal home supporters |
| Best view | Premium central seats | Side-on view near the halfway line |
| Family-friendly | Mid-range categories in home areas | A calmer setting with a good view at a moderate price |
| Premium experience | VIP | Central main stand seats with added services |
| Lower-priced option | General admission | Seats at or near the league's minimum price |
For most of their top-flight history, Al-Fateh played their home matches at the Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium in Al-Hofuf, a large multi-purpose ground opened in 1983 and shared with Hajer, the club's local rivals. It was there that the 2012/13 title was won, and it remained the club's home until the move to their own ground in Al-Mubarraz.
The Al-Fateh Club Stadium began life in 2004 as a small venue with an athletics track, holding around 3,500. In 2021 the club started a complete rebuild, turning it into a modern football-only stadium with stands close to the pitch. The project cost around 45 million riyals, and the new ground opened on 16 November 2023 with an international match between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, followed by Al-Fateh's first league match there nine days later.
Today the stadium holds around 12,000 and sits within a large club complex that includes training facilities, a mosque and parking. Since 2025 it has carried the sponsored name Maydan Tamweel Al-Oula under a naming-rights agreement. The club's home record crowd at the new ground came for the visit of Al-Nassr in February 2026, when more than 11,000 attended, close to capacity.
The compact design makes a real difference to the atmosphere. With the stands close to the pitch and a roof canopy overhead, noise carries well, and the arrival of a big club turns the ground into one of the liveliest in the Eastern Province.
Getting there is easiest by car or taxi. Taxis within Al-Ahsa are inexpensive, and the club complex has its own parking areas. Hofuf railway station is on the line between Riyadh and Dammam operated by Saudi Arabia Railways, with journeys of around two and a half to three hours from Riyadh and around an hour and a half from Dammam.
Al-Ahsa International Airport, around 18 kilometres from the city, has flights to Jeddah and Medina and a direct route to Dubai, which makes a match in Al-Mubarraz a short trip for supporters in the UAE. King Fahd International Airport near Dammam is around 150 kilometres away and offers a wider range of international connections.
The stadium is part of a club complex of around 150,000 square metres, which also houses training pitches, a mosque and the club's academy. The academy and the club's wider sports programmes host more than a thousand young athletes on a typical day, and the club also runs a women's sports department, a reminder of why Al-Fateh became known as the Model Club.
Matches usually kick off in the evening, avoiding the heat of the day, with some afternoon fixtures in the cooler winter months. Recent home kick-offs have ranged from around 16:00 in midwinter to 21:00 in the warmer months. Even in winter, evenings in Al-Ahsa are mild, so light clothing is fine for most of the season, but stay hydrated during the warmer early-season fixtures in August and September.
Al-Ahsa sits in the east of Saudi Arabia, between Riyadh and the Gulf coast, and it is well connected by air, rail and road. For supporters based in the UAE, the quickest option is a direct flight from Dubai to Al-Ahsa International Airport, which turns a match in Al-Mubarraz into a short trip rather than a major journey.
From elsewhere in Saudi Arabia, the train is the most relaxed option. Hofuf station sits on the line between Riyadh and Dammam, with services taking around two and a half to three hours from the capital and around an hour and a half from Dammam. Fares from Riyadh have typically been under 100 riyals in standard class.
Supporters flying into King Fahd International Airport near Dammam can reach Al-Ahsa by road in under two hours, a distance of around 150 kilometres on the main highway. Hire cars are widely available at both airports, and ride-hailing apps and taxis operate in the cities.
Whichever route you choose, plan your return in advance. Late evening kick-offs can finish after the last train of the night, so many visitors stay overnight in Al-Ahsa or arrange a car back to Dammam or Riyadh.
Al-Ahsa is far more than a football destination. The oasis, one of the largest in the world with more than two and a half million date palms, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2018. Its listed sites include gardens, canals and springs as well as historic buildings, and the oasis has been inhabited for thousands of years.
The heritage sites are within easy reach of the stadium. Qaisariya Souk in Al-Hofuf is one of the oldest markets in the region, with lanes of traditional shops selling dates, spices and textiles. Ibrahim Palace, an Ottoman-era fortress, and the Jawatha Mosque, among the earliest mosques in the Gulf region, are also part of the UNESCO listing. Just outside the city, Jabal Al-Qarah is a mountain of limestone caves that stay cool even on hot days and are a popular visit for families.
For international visitors, travel is straightforward. UK passport holders are eligible for Saudi Arabia's tourist eVisa, which is applied for online and allows multiple visits within a year, and residents of other Gulf states can also apply online. Many visitors fly into Al-Ahsa directly or into Dammam, and combine a match with a day or two in the oasis before heading on to Riyadh or the Eastern Province coast.
The most comfortable time to visit is between November and March, when daytime temperatures are pleasant and evening kick-offs are comfortable. Early-season fixtures in August and September are played in the heat of late summer, so plan daytime sightseeing for the early morning.
Accommodation is available in both Al-Hofuf and Al-Mubarraz, and the two towns sit side by side, so the stadium is a short taxi ride from most hotels. For the visits of Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, book early, as supporters from across the region travel to Al-Ahsa for these matches.
Hospitality in the Saudi Pro League is centred on VIP seating, and the offer at Al-Fateh's rebuilt stadium is concentrated in the central main stand. VIP seats provide central views and a more comfortable matchday, and they are the most sought-after seats for the visits of the league's biggest clubs.
The league's ticketing platform sells VIP seats alongside other categories, and prices rise sharply for the most attractive fixtures. For the visit of Al-Hilal in 2025, the VIP category for visiting supporters was priced at 1,500 riyals, an indication of the premium attached to the top category.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seat | A central seat with a clear view of the pitch | Mid tier |
| VIP seat (home) | Central main stand seat with added services | Upper tier |
| VIP seat (visiting supporters) | VIP seating within the visiting allocation for big-club fixtures | Upper tier |
| Group and corporate options | Blocks of premium or VIP seats for groups, subject to availability | Varies |
For groups and companies, booking a block of premium or VIP seats for one of the big-club fixtures is a popular way to host guests, and many visitors combine the match with a meal in Al-Hofuf or Al-Mubarraz beforehand. Availability for groups is limited, so plan well ahead for the most popular matches.
On the resale market, VIP seats for a standard fixture typically start from around £250, with big-four fixtures costing considerably more.

The highest attendance at the rebuilt ground came in February 2026, when more than 11,000 watched Al-Nassr, close to the stadium's capacity. Visits from Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli have also drawn crowds above 10,000, while matches against smaller clubs have attracted between 3,000 and 7,000.
Not every match at the Al-Fateh Club Stadium draws the same crowd. Based on recent attendances and how resale demand typically behaves, these are the games where waiting is most likely to cost you.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Al-Fateh vs Al-Nassr | Star players and a huge national following; the source of the stadium's highest recent crowd |
| Al-Fateh vs Al-Hilal | The league's most decorated club, with strong travelling support and high VIP demand |
| Al-Fateh vs Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli | The two big Jeddah clubs draw large crowds and bring their own supporters |
| Eastern Province fixtures | Short trips for visiting supporters from Dammam, Al-Khobar and Saihat |
| King's Cup home ties | One-off occasions, especially against big-club opposition |
Tickets for Saudi Pro League matches are issued digitally through the league's central platform, and most listings on 1BoxOffice reflect that. The delivery method depends on the seller and the listing, so read the notes before you buy.
Whatever the format, make sure your phone is fully charged and your ticket is saved before you leave for the stadium.
Because transfers and resale are controlled by the league's platform, follow the seller's instructions exactly, and keep any messages or confirmations they send you. If a ticket is due to be transferred to you, make sure the details you provide match the account the seller asks for.
Entry at the Al-Fateh Club Stadium is usually smooth, but queues build for the bigger matches. A little preparation makes a big difference.
Aim to reach the stadium at least an hour before kick-off, and longer for the visits of the big four, when traffic and security searches slow entry. Arriving early also gives you time to find parking within the club complex and settle into your seat as the crowd builds.
Carry valid identification, such as a passport for international visitors or a national ID for residents. Every adult and child must have their own ticket. Supporters must respect the league's conduct rules, which prohibit entering the pitch, interrupting play or behaving in a way that endangers others.
Travel light, as bags are searched at the entrance, and leave anything bulky at your hotel. Visitors should dress modestly, with shoulders and knees covered, and avoid clothing with offensive slogans. Women visitors are not required to wear an abaya or headscarf, but modest clothing is expected in public places.

| Full name | Al-Fateh Sports Club |
| Founded | 1958 (formally recognised and named Al-Fateh in 1968) |
| City | Al-Mubarraz, Al-Ahsa, Eastern Province |
| Nickname | The Model Club |
| Colours | Green, white and blue |

| Top-flight seasons | Continuous since 2009/10 |
Al-Fateh's story is one of patience and a single extraordinary season. A neighbourhood club from Al-Mubarraz spent half a century in the lower divisions before reaching the top flight, then won the league within four years. Since then, it has become a stable presence in a league transformed by investment and star signings.
For its first five decades, Al-Fateh were a regional club rooted in the Al-Ahsa community. The club earned its nickname, the Model Club, for its organisation and its role in local life, running sports programmes well beyond football. On the pitch, it moved between the lower divisions, winning the Second Division on several occasions without making the leap to the top tier.
Those Second Division titles in 1983, 1997 and 1999 each lifted the club back into the First Division, and the experience of climbing out of the third tier more than once shaped a culture built on patience and organisation. By the mid-2000s the club had a stadium of its own in Al-Mubarraz and a clear ambition to reach the top flight.
The arrival of Fathi Al-Jabal transformed the club. In his first full season, Al-Fateh finished second in the First Division and reached the top flight for the first time. Rather than simply surviving, they built steadily, adding foreign signings who would become club legends, among them the Congolese forward Doris Salomo and the Brazilian attacker Élton. By 2012 the foundations were in place for something no one predicted.
The 2012/13 season is the defining chapter in the club's history. Al-Fateh lost only twice in 26 league matches, finished eight points ahead of Al-Hilal and became the seventh different club to win the Saudi title. The decisive moment came on 14 April 2013, when Doris Salomo's overhead kick beat Al-Ahli 1-0 to secure the championship with two rounds to spare. Doris finished with 17 league goals and Élton with 11, and the team's final record read 20 wins, four draws and two defeats. Four months later, Doris scored twice and Élton added the winner in extra time as Al-Fateh beat Al-Ittihad in the first Saudi Super Cup.
Since the title, Al-Fateh have become one of the most consistent members of the Saudi Pro League, avoiding relegation every season since 2009 even as the league transformed around them. The arrival of global stars at the big clubs from 2023 onwards changed the competitive balance, but Al-Fateh continued to compete with a mix of experienced foreign players and homegrown talent. The move into their own rebuilt stadium in 2023 gave the club a home of its own for the first time in its top-flight history.
The league's transformation has also changed the matchday for Al-Fateh supporters. The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr in 2023, followed by a wave of international stars at Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli, turned visits from those clubs into major events in Al-Ahsa. Crowds for these fixtures are now the largest of the season, and they bring national and international attention to a club that once played in front of a few hundred people.
Al-Fateh's legends are closely tied to the title-winning era and to the long service of players who grew up in Al-Ahsa. These are the figures supporters still talk about, with records drawn from club and football data sources.
| Name | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fathi Al-Jabal | Head coach | The Tunisian coach who took Al-Fateh into the top flight and then to the title. He returned for a second spell later in the decade. | Promotion in 2009, the league title in 2013 and the Super Cup in 2013 |
| Doris Salomo | Forward | The Congolese striker whose overhead kick sealed the 2013 title. He scored twice in the Super Cup final and remains a club icon. | 56 goals in 127 matches (2010 to 2015); 17 league goals in 2012/13 |
| Élton | Attacking midfielder | A creative Brazilian who supplied goals and assists through the title years. His extra-time winner decided the first Saudi Super Cup. | 58 goals in 148 matches (2011 to 2016) |
| Hamdan Al-Hamdan | Midfielder | A local player who spent more than a decade at the club and won the league title. He also earned caps for Saudi Arabia. | 236 matches and 43 goals (2004 to 2017) |
| Mohammed Al-Fuhaid | Midfielder and captain | An academy graduate who captained the club for many seasons. He played through the title era and into the stadium's new chapter. | Close to 400 matches (2009 to 2025) |
| Mourad Batna | Forward | The Moroccan forward became one of the club's most productive attackers after joining in 2020. He was named in the league's Team of the Season for 2022/23. | A regular source of goals and assists since 2020 |
| Firas Al-Buraikan | Striker | The Saudi international enjoyed a prolific spell that helped the club to its best recent finish. His goals earned a move to one of the league's bigger clubs. | 17 league goals in 2022/23 |
Several other players earned places in supporters' memories during the title years and after. Spanish winger Cristian Tello joined in 2022, bringing La Liga experience to Al-Mubarraz, while Al-Fateh's mix of experienced foreign signings and Saudi players has kept the club competitive through a period of huge spending elsewhere in the league.
The club has no retired shirt numbers. Its academy remains central to its identity, with homegrown players such as Al-Fuhaid showing that the Model Club's community roots still produce talent for the first team.
Al-Fateh's trophy cabinet is small but historic. The club is one of only a handful of sides outside the traditional powers to have won the Saudi title.
| Competition | Titles |
|---|---|
| Saudi Pro League | 1 (2012/13) |
| Saudi Super Cup | 1 (2013, the first edition) |
| Saudi Second Division | 3 (1982/83, 1996/97, 1998/99) |
| Saudi First Division | Runners-up (2008/09) |
| AFC Champions League | Group stage (2014, 2017) |
The 2013 title earned Al-Fateh a place in the AFC Champions League, and the club returned to the competition in 2017. Both campaigns ended in the group stage, but they took a club from Al-Mubarraz to some of the leading grounds in Asia.
| Season | Stage | Opponents | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2014 | Group stage | Foolad, Bunyodkor, El Jaish | Fourth in the group on debut |
| 2017 | Play-off round | Nasaf | Won 1-0 to reach the group stage |
| 2017 | Group stage | Lekhwiya, Esteghlal Khuzestan, Al-Jazira | Third in the group |
Al-Fateh's rivalries are rooted in Al-Ahsa, where several clubs have competed for local pride over the decades. In recent seasons, the most charged matches have come against the league's biggest clubs and the other teams of the Eastern Province.
The meeting with Hajer, from neighbouring Al-Hofuf, is known as the Al-Ahsa derby. During the title-winning season of 2012/13, Al-Fateh won the derby 2-1 at the stadium the two clubs shared, one of the steps on the road to the championship. The two clubs shared the Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium for years, and the derby was played in front of crowds from across the oasis whenever both were in the top flight. Hajer currently play at a lower level, so the derby is off the league calendar.
Al-Adalah, another Al-Ahsa club, have met Al-Fateh in what local media call the Derby of Love, a nod to the shared community both clubs represent. Like Hajer, Al-Adalah are not in the top flight in 2026/27.
Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli are not traditional rivals, but matches against them carry special meaning for Al-Fateh. The 2013 title was won by finishing ahead of Al-Hilal and sealed against Al-Ahli, the Super Cup was won against Al-Ittihad, and home wins over the giants remain highlights of any season. A 3-2 home win over Al-Nassr in May 2025 and a 2-1 victory over Al-Ahli later that year are recent examples supporters still talk about.
The 2017 play-off against Nasaf of Uzbekistan was a one-off tie with a group-stage place at stake. Al-Fateh won 1-0, a result that took the club back into the AFC Champions League for a second time.
Al-Ittihad are a domestic opponent, but the 2013 Super Cup in Mecca was a trophy final that belongs on any list of the club's great occasions. Al-Fateh won 3-2 after extra time to lift the first edition of the competition.
The last five seasons have seen Al-Fateh stay in the top flight while the league around them changed beyond recognition, with several head coaches and a new stadium along the way. Former Croatia and West Ham manager Slaven Bilić and Portuguese coach José Gomes were among those in charge, and Moroccan coach Jamal Sellami, who led Jordan at the 2026 World Cup, took over in October 2026.
