Buy Al Taawoun tickets for the 2026/27 Season and see the Wolves of Buraidah in the Saudi Pro League and the AFC Champions League Two. Al-Taawoun are the leading club of Al-Qassim, the first side from the province to win the King's Cup and a regular presence in the top half of the table. Their home ground, King Abdullah Sport City Stadium, is one of the largest outside Riyadh and Jeddah, and it fills up when the giants of Saudi football come north.

This guide is written to stay useful for the whole season. It covers how tickets are sold, what you can expect to pay, where to sit, how to get to Buraidah and the history that made Al-Taawoun one of the most respected provincial clubs in the Kingdom. Check each listing for the venue and kick-off time of your chosen match, because smaller fixtures are sometimes moved to the club's own stadium.
Saudi Pro League tickets are sold centrally through the league's ticketing partner, webook, and are usually released around two weeks before each match. That system works well for supporters in Buraidah and the wider Qassim region who can buy as soon as sales open. It is less convenient for anyone planning a trip from Riyadh, the Gulf or further afield, who may want to book flights and hotels well before tickets go on sale.
A marketplace offers a second route. Supporters whose plans change, groups who no longer need every seat and buyers who purchased early all create availability once the release window opens and closes. Comparing listings by section and price lets you choose a seat that suits your trip rather than racing to buy at a set time.
It also helps with high-demand fixtures. When Al-Nassr or Al-Hilal visit Buraidah, demand rises sharply across Qassim, and the prime seats in the main stand can be committed early. Buying through a marketplace gives you another chance to find seats together if you are travelling as a group.
1BoxOffice has run a secondary ticket marketplace since 2006 and has a strong following among football supporters in the UAE and across the Middle East. Sellers list seats, buyers compare them side by side and every order goes through the same secure checkout, with section, price and delivery method shown before you commit. Prices appear in GBP, so you know exactly what you are paying before you travel.
Protection matters as much as choice. If a seller fails to deliver and no comparable alternative is offered, the guarantee below applies, and the support team stays on hand from the moment you order until the final whistle.
Al-Taawoun have played in the Saudi Pro League every season since 2010/11, and over that time they have built one of the most loyal followings outside the big cities. Buraidah is the capital of Al-Qassim and one of the largest cities in central Saudi Arabia, and the club is a point of pride for the whole province.
Several factors push demand higher. Some return every season, while others depend on the draw and the shape of the league.
For buyers, matches against mid-table and newly promoted sides usually offer the widest choice and the lowest prices, while the fixtures above can move quickly once tickets are released. If one of those games is the reason for your trip, comparing listings early is the sensible approach.
Face values in the Saudi Pro League are low by international standards. League pricing keeps a share of seats at very low prices, from around 10 Saudi riyals, with standard seats usually up to around 100 riyals, main stand seats higher and VIP areas at the top of the scale. Prices vary by opponent, with the visits of the leading clubs priced above routine fixtures.
Resale prices sit above those figures because listings are usually for high-demand matches and are priced by demand rather than by the league's price bands. The opponent matters most: Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli push prices up, while games against smaller clubs sit near the bottom of the range. Asian nights sit somewhere in between, depending on the visiting club and the stage of the competition.
Location and timing add further layers. Central seats in the main stand cost more than seats behind the goal, and VIP packages bundle a premium seat with hospitality. In the 2026/27 season, the days after a match is released tend to bring the widest spread of listings, while the final hours before kick-off can swing either way depending on how much stock remains.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Saudi Pro League (standard fixtures) | £15 – £45 |
| Saudi Pro League (high-demand fixtures: Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli) | £45 – £150+ |
| King's Cup | £20 – £80 |
| AFC Champions League Two | £20 – £70 |
| VIP and hospitality | £100 – £300+ |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.
Inside the stadium, prices for food and drink are in Saudi riyals and card payment is widely accepted. Buying in GBP through 1BoxOffice keeps the cost of the seat itself clear before you travel.
Yes. You do not need a club membership to buy a ticket for a single Al-Taawoun match. Saudi Pro League tickets are sold through the league's ticketing partner, webook, where buyers create an account, choose a match and receive an electronic ticket. Sales usually open around two weeks before kick-off.
For supporters in Buraidah, that system is straightforward. For visitors, the main challenges are timing and access: release dates are confirmed close to each match, information is published mainly in Arabic and the platform is built chiefly for buyers already in the Kingdom. AFC Champions League Two home ties follow their own sales arrangements, again announced close to the match.
If you do buy directly, create your account well before the release date, make sure your details match your ID and be ready to buy as soon as sales open for high-demand fixtures. Buying through 1BoxOffice lets you compare available seats in GBP, see delivery terms in English and plan your trip earlier. Always check each listing for the section, venue, delivery method and any entry instructions, especially if the ticket will be transferred to a ticketing account.
Saudi clubs increasingly offer season passes and membership products alongside single-match tickets, with details announced through club and league channels before each season. For supporters who live in Qassim and attend every home game, these products offer convenience and priority. For visitors, single-match tickets remain the practical choice.
Because the stadium is large compared with average league attendances, routine fixtures rarely sell out. The fixtures that do, mainly visits from the major Riyadh and Jeddah clubs, are where regular attendees and season pass holders take a significant share of the prime seats early.
| Route | How It Works | What It Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Single-match tickets | Sold through the league's webook platform, usually around two weeks before kick-off | The standard route for most fixtures, with low face values |
| Season passes and memberships | Announced by clubs and the league before each season, with varying benefits | Best suited to local supporters attending every home game |
| VIP and hospitality | Premium seats with lounge access, sold for selected fixtures | A more comfortable option for families, groups and corporate guests |
| Asian home ties | Sales arranged for each AFC Champions League Two match | Announced close to the fixture, often with separate pricing |
| Resale through 1BoxOffice | Seats listed by sellers, priced in GBP, with delivery terms in each listing | Lets you plan earlier and find seats for high-demand matches |
King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Buraidah is a large bowl with a running track, shared by Al-Taawoun and Al-Raed. Its capacity is usually given at around 30,000, which makes it one of the largest grounds in central Saudi Arabia. Al-Taawoun also have their own smaller stadium in the city, which is used for less prominent fixtures.
| Area | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main stand, central sections | Views and comfort | Higher | Elevated touchline views close to the benches, near the VIP areas and main facilities |
| Opposite stand | Sideline views at a fairer price | Mid | Good sightlines across the pitch, with a view of the home support |
| Home end | Atmosphere | Lower | Where Al-Taawoun's most vocal supporters gather with drums, flags and chants |
| Family sections | Families and mixed groups | Lower to mid | Saudi stadiums commonly set aside family areas; check the listing for availability |
| Away sections | Visiting supporters | Set per match | Allocated to the visiting club's fans; neutral buyers should check before choosing |
| VIP seating | Hospitality guests | Premium | Padded seats in the main stand with lounge access for selected fixtures |
Al-Taawoun's supporters travel across the Kingdom, and away days to Riyadh are among the most popular because the capital is only a few hours away. Trips to Ar Rass for the Qassim derbies need only a short drive. Away allocations are set by the host club, and tickets are sold through the league's central platform.
| Topic | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Domestic away allocation | Set by the home club for each fixture and sold through the league's ticketing platform |
| Qassim derbies | Al-Hazem and Al-Kholood play in Ar Rass, a short drive from Buraidah, making these the easiest away trips |
| Riyadh trips | Around 320km by highway, with direct trains from Buraidah to the capital |
| Asian away ties | Group matches in Doha, Amman and Oman, with allocations set by each host club |
| Entry requirements | Carry photo ID and follow the instructions issued with your order and by the host club |
Away days have a rhythm of their own. Riyadh trips are the most popular, because three of the capital's clubs and their large stadiums are only a few hours away by road or rail, and many supporters drive down for the afternoon and return the same night. Trips to Jeddah and the Eastern Province involve longer journeys, so organised groups often travel together. For Asian away ties, supporters typically follow the host club's ticketing instructions and travel in small groups, especially for midweek fixtures in Doha, Amman or Oman. If you plan to follow the team abroad, check visa rules and entry requirements for each host country well in advance, and keep an eye on kick-off times, which are confirmed closer to each matchday.
The right seat depends on why you are going. A family on a weekend visit wants something different from a supporter who wants to stand with the home end or a group entertaining clients, and the stadium in Buraidah has an option for each.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best atmosphere | Sections near the home end | The heart of the singing and drumming on big nights |
| Best view | Central main stand | Elevated touchline views close to the halfway line |
| Family-friendly | Family sections | Dedicated areas for families and mixed groups |
| Premium experience | VIP seating | Padded seats, lounge access and refreshments |
| Lower-priced option | Behind the goal for a routine league fixture | Standard Pro League games usually sit at the bottom of the resale range |
King Abdullah Sport City Stadium opened in 1980, and the first competitive match there, on 24 December 1982, was a 1–1 draw between Al-Taawoun and Al-Tai watched by around 10,000 people. The first goal at the ground was an own goal by an Al-Tai defender. Since then it has been the home of both Buraidah clubs, the setting for the Qassim derby against Al-Raed and an occasional venue for Saudi national team training camps and matches.
The stadium is a classic multi-sport bowl with a running track around the pitch and a large main stand. Its capacity is usually given at around 30,000, although sources vary, and for most league games it is far from full. When Al-Nassr or Al-Hilal visit, however, the crowd swells and the atmosphere changes completely, with supporters from across Qassim filling the stands.
Al-Taawoun also have their own facility on King Abdullah Road in Buraidah, which the club took over from the Ministry of Sport in 2018. It includes a main football pitch with seating, training pitches, an indoor hall and a swimming pool, and the smaller stadium there is sometimes used for less prominent fixtures. Always check the venue on your listing before you travel.
Getting to Buraidah is straightforward. The city sits around 320km north-west of Riyadh by highway, roughly three to three and a half hours by car. Buraidah's railway station, in the north-east of the city, has direct trains to Riyadh on the line that also serves Al Majma'ah and Hail. Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz International Airport lies west of the city, with domestic flights and international services that have included Dubai, Kuwait, Manama, Istanbul and Cairo.
Within the city, ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Careem are widely used in Saudi Arabia and are a practical way to reach the Sport City if you arrive by train or plane. Agree a pick-up point for the journey home, because demand rises sharply when the final whistle blows. Driving is the most common way to reach the stadium on matchday, and parking is generally easier than at the big-city grounds in Riyadh and Jeddah. For high-demand fixtures, arrive early, because traffic around the Sport City builds in the hour before kick-off and security checks take time.
Buraidah rewards visitors who arrive early. The city's date market is described as the largest of its kind in the world and is busiest during the harvest season in late summer and autumn, when traders from across the region gather. The camel market on the outskirts is another famous sight, and the city's parks, including Buraidah Garden and the central park, are popular with families in the cooler evenings.
Al-Qassim is one of the Kingdom's main agricultural regions, known for its palm groves and farms, and the scenery on the drive from Riyadh changes from open desert to green fields as you approach Buraidah. The most comfortable time to visit is between late autumn and early spring, when evenings are cool and comfortable for watching football. In the summer months, temperatures are high and kick-offs are scheduled late in the evening.
Saudi league matches are usually played in the evening, especially in the warmer months, so plan your return journey with a late finish in mind. Many visitors from Riyadh make a day trip by car or train, while others stay overnight in Buraidah to avoid driving back late.
The Saudi Pro League has 18 clubs in 2026/27, and each plays the others home and away between mid-August and late May. The 2026/27 calendar includes a long winter break from late December to early February while Saudi Arabia hosts the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, so plan any midwinter trip with that pause in mind.
Matchdays have a distinct character. Crowds are noisy and musical, with drums, chants and flags from the home end, and family sections are common at most grounds. Kick-offs are usually in the evening, often after sunset prayers, and fixtures are confirmed only a few weeks in advance, so keep your plans flexible. Alcohol is not sold at Saudi stadiums, and modest dress is expected.
For visitors used to European football, the most noticeable difference is often the scale of the stadium compared with the crowd for routine games. King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Buraidah can hold far more spectators than attend an ordinary league match, so the atmosphere varies widely from week to week. Visits from the leading clubs transform the experience, and that is when Buraidah's football culture is at its loudest.
VIP seating in the main stand offers the most comfortable way to see a match in Buraidah. Packages typically combine a padded seat with clear views of the pitch, lounge access and refreshments, and they are especially popular for visits from the leading clubs. Hospitality availability varies by fixture and is usually announced alongside the general ticket release.
For families and groups, VIP areas also offer a more relaxed environment than the busier sections of the stadium. Corporate guests and visitors from abroad often choose them for the same reason, combining a match with business or a weekend in Qassim.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Main stand VIP | Padded central seat, lounge access, refreshments | £100 – £220 |
| Premium main stand | Central seat close to the halfway line without lounge access | £40 – £120 |
| Group and corporate packages | Seats for groups with hospitality, arranged for selected fixtures | £150 – £300+ |
| Asian night VIP | Premium seat and hospitality for AFC Champions League Two home ties | £80 – £180 |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.

Most matchday problems come from missed details rather than poor seats. Check the venue, make sure your name and email are correct and keep your phone charged, because electronic tickets are the norm in Saudi football.
Not every home game sells the same way. The fixtures below are those where prime seats are typically taken first, leaving buyers the shortest window to choose.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Al-Taawoun vs Al-Nassr | International stars, a huge travelling following and a long history between the clubs in cup finals and Asia |
| Al-Taawoun vs Al-Hilal | Asia's most decorated club, and the opponent Al-Taawoun beat 5–0 in the 2019 King's Cup semi-final |
| Al-Taawoun vs Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli | Two of the most widely supported clubs in Asia, with fans travelling from across the Kingdom |
| Qassim derbies against Al-Hazem and Al-Kholood | Local rivalries that draw supporters from across the province |
| Later King's Cup rounds | A competition Al-Taawoun have won, with home ties against major clubs carrying a final-like feel |
Delivery depends on the competition and the seller. Saudi football has moved almost entirely to electronic tickets, so the delivery method in each listing deserves a careful read before you buy.
Whichever method applies, follow the instructions sent with your order and contact support well before matchday if anything looks wrong.
Entry at Saudi stadiums is well organised, with security checks at every gate. A little preparation keeps the process quick.
For high-demand fixtures, arrive well before kick-off to allow time for parking, security checks and finding your entrance. The pre-match build-up, with drums and chants from the home end, is part of the experience on big nights.
Carry your passport or national ID, keep your ticket downloaded on your phone and make sure the phone is charged. Follow any entry instructions sent with your order, especially if the ticket is linked to a ticketing account.
Travel light. Large bags are discouraged, and pyrotechnics, glass, weapons and offensive banners are typically prohibited. Stewards carry out searches at entry, so respect local dress and conduct norms and stay in the section printed on your ticket.

Al-Taawoun's story is one of steady growth, from a local club founded in the 1950s to King's Cup winners and regular Asian competitors. It is also the story of a province, because for many supporters in Al-Qassim the club represents the region on the national stage.
For most of its first half-century, Al-Taawoun moved between the second and third tiers, building a strong local following in Buraidah but rarely threatening the established clubs of Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. The run to the 1990 King's Cup final, where Al-Nassr won 2–0, was an early sign of what the club could achieve on a big day.
The First Division title in 1996/97 brought a brief stay in the top flight, and the club won the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Cup four times between 1997 and 2009. Those years built the foundations for a more ambitious era: better facilities, a growing fanbase and a determination to establish Al-Taawoun as a permanent member of the Pro League.
Promotion in 2010 changed the club's standing. Al-Taawoun have stayed in the Pro League ever since, a record many provincial clubs would envy, and in 2015/16 they finished fourth to qualify for the AFC Champions League for the first time. Their 2017 group, with Al-Ahli, Esteghlal and Lokomotiv Tashkent, ended in third place, but the experience of playing in Asia raised expectations in Buraidah.
The 2018/19 season was the finest in the club's history. Under the Portuguese coach Pedro Emanuel, Al-Taawoun finished third in the league with 56 points, and Léandre Tawamba scored 21 league goals. In the King's Cup they reached the final without conceding a single goal in the earlier rounds, thrashing Al-Hilal 5–0 in the semi-final, a result so shocking that it was followed by the resignation of Al-Hilal's president.
The final, on 2 May 2019 at King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, drew more than 58,000 spectators. Aleksandar Prijović put Al-Ittihad ahead, Talal Al-Absi headed the equaliser and Tawamba scored the winner with a minute left, giving Al-Taawoun their first major trophy and the first King's Cup won by a club from Al-Qassim. King Salman presented the cup.
The win was celebrated across the province, and it changed how the club was seen nationally. Al-Taawoun were no longer simply a solid provincial side but cup winners who had beaten Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad on the way to the trophy. Pedro Emanuel left at the end of the season, and he later returned to Saudi football as head coach of Al-Fayha, but the standard his team set has remained the benchmark in Buraidah ever since.
Success brought more Asian football. In the 2020 AFC Champions League, Al-Taawoun finished second in a group with Persepolis, Al-Duhail and Sharjah to reach the knockout stage for the first time, before Al-Nassr won the round of 16 tie 1–0. They reached another King's Cup final in 2021, losing 3–2 to Al-Faisaly, and under Péricles Chamusca finished fifth in 2022/23 and fourth in 2023/24.
The 2024/25 AFC Champions League Two brought the club's deepest Asian run. Al-Taawoun won their group with 15 points from 18 and went all the way to the semi-finals, where Sharjah, the eventual winners, ended their campaign. Chamusca returned for 2025/26, and a sixth-place finish earned another place in the Champions League Two for 2026/27.
| Name | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pedro Emanuel | Head coach (2018 to 2019) | The Portuguese coach led the club through its finest season, combining attacking football with a defence that did not concede on the way to the cup final. | King's Cup 2019 and a record third-place finish |
| Léandre Tawamba | Forward (late 2010s) | The Cameroonian striker was the club's leading scorer in its greatest season and scored the most important goal in its history. | 21 league goals and 27 in all competitions in 2018/19; King's Cup final winner |
| Talal Al-Absi | Player (late 2010s) | Headed the equaliser in the 2019 King's Cup final, turning the match in Al-Taawoun's favour after Al-Ittihad had taken the lead. | King's Cup winner in 2019 |
| Péricles Chamusca | Head coach (2022 to 2024, and from 2025) | The Brazilian coach brought consistency to the top half of the table and returned for a second spell in 2025. | Fifth in 2022/23 and fourth in 2023/24 |
| José Gomes | Head coach (three spells) | The Portuguese coach took charge of Al-Taawoun on three separate occasions, including the closing months of the club's first Asian season and much of 2021/22. | One of the most familiar figures in the club's modern history |
| Roger Martínez | Forward (2020s) | The Colombian forward led the scoring in 2025/26, helping the club back into Asian competition. | 15 goals in all competitions in 2025/26 |
The club has also developed and sold Saudi talent to the country's leading clubs, with recent departures including Saad Al-Nasser to Al-Nassr and Sultan Mandash to Al-Hilal.
| Competition | Record |
|---|---|
| King's Cup | Winners in 2019; runners-up in 1990 and 2021 |
| Saudi Super Cup | Runners-up in 2019 |
| Saudi First Division | Champions in 1996/97; runners-up in 1994/95 and 2009/10 |

The 2019 King's Cup was the first major trophy won by a club from Al-Qassim.
Al-Taawoun's rivalries reflect their place as Qassim's leading club and their regular meetings with the giants of Saudi football.
Al-Raed are Al-Taawoun's neighbours in Buraidah and have shared King Abdullah Sport City Stadium with them since it opened. For decades the two clubs competed for the title of Qassim's leading side, and the rivalry divides families, schools and workplaces across the city. Their meetings make up the Qassim derby, the most local of all Al-Taawoun's rivalries. Al-Raed play in the First Division in 2026/27, so the derby is off the league calendar for now, but any cup meeting between the two is a major event in the city.
Both clubs are based in Ar Rass, around 84km from Buraidah, and they share the Al-Hazem Club Stadium there. Both are in the Pro League in 2026/27, and Al-Hazem have moved some high-profile home games to King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Buraidah, so a Qassim derby can be played on Al-Taawoun's home ground even when they are the away side. With Al-Raed out of the top flight, these are the Qassim derbies on the league calendar this season, and they draw strong crowds from across the province.
Few clubs have crossed Al-Taawoun's path at such important moments, and the history runs in both directions. Al-Nassr won the 1990 King's Cup final, beat Al-Taawoun on penalties in the 2019 Super Cup and knocked them out of the 2020 AFC Champions League in the round of 16. Their visits to Buraidah typically draw the largest home crowds of the season. With Al-Nassr's squad full of international stars, many supporters in Qassim also see these matches as a rare chance to watch world-famous players without travelling to Riyadh.
The 5–0 win over Al-Hilal in the 2019 King's Cup semi-final is one of the most famous results in Saudi cup history, and every meeting since carries that memory. Al-Faisaly, meanwhile, beat Al-Taawoun in the 2021 King's Cup final, and their return to the Pro League gives that fixture renewed meaning.
Asian football has become a regular part of life in Buraidah, and supporters now expect continental nights rather than treating them as a rare bonus. Since their debut in 2017, Al-Taawoun have played in the continent's club competitions several times, and each campaign has added to the club's experience and reputation.
The 2017 AFC Champions League was a learning experience. Drawn with Al-Ahli, Esteghlal of Iran and Lokomotiv Tashkent of Uzbekistan, Al-Taawoun finished third and did not progress, but they recorded their first Asian win and showed they could compete. Three years later, as King's Cup holders, they returned stronger. The 2020 group with Persepolis, Al-Duhail and Sharjah was completed in Qatar after the competition restarted following the pandemic, and Al-Taawoun finished second to reach the knockout stage for the first time before Al-Nassr won a tight round of 16 tie 1–0.
In 2022 they finished second in their group behind Al-Duhail without progressing, but the arrival of the AFC Champions League Two in 2024/25 brought the club's best continental run. Al-Taawoun won five of their six group matches to top Group A, then came through two knockout rounds to reach the semi-finals, where Sharjah of the UAE, who went on to lift the trophy, ended their campaign.
The 2026/27 Champions League Two draw placed Al-Taawoun in Group C with Al Rayyan of Qatar, Al Faisaly of Jordan and Al Nahda of Oman. All three bring their own supporters and history, and home nights against Gulf and Levant opposition give Buraidah a different kind of matchday from the domestic league.
For supporters based in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait or Bahrain, an Al-Taawoun match is easy to combine with a short break in Saudi Arabia. Many nationalities can apply for a Saudi tourist e-visa online, and the process is usually quick, although you should always check the current rules for your passport before booking.
There are two main ways to reach Buraidah. The first is to fly into Riyadh, where King Khalid International Airport has frequent connections across the Gulf, and then drive or take the train north. The second is to fly directly into Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz International Airport, which has offered services from Dubai, Kuwait and Manama. Check current schedules, because routes and frequencies change from season to season.
Some supporters build a longer trip around the Saudi Pro League, watching a match in Riyadh one evening and travelling to Buraidah for another. With the capital's major clubs, Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Shabab and Al-Riyadh, all playing regularly, a weekend can easily include two matches. Allow plenty of time between fixtures, because kick-off times are confirmed close to each round.
| Season | Summary |
|---|---|
| 2021/22 | A difficult league season ended in 12th place with 34 points, as four different coaches took charge. In the 2022 AFC Champions League, Al-Taawoun finished second in their group behind Al-Duhail but did not progress, and Al-Ittihad ended their King's Cup run in the quarter-finals. |
| 2022/23 | Under Péricles Chamusca the club bounced back to fifth with 55 points from 30 matches, one of its strongest league campaigns. The King's Cup run ended in the round of 16 against Abha. |
| 2023/24 | A fourth-place finish with 59 points was the club's second-best league position, earning a place in the new AFC Champions League Two. Al-Hilal knocked them out of the King's Cup in the quarter-finals. |
| 2024/25 | An eighth-place league finish was overshadowed by a superb Asian run: Al-Taawoun won their Champions League Two group and reached the semi-finals, where eventual winners Sharjah ended their hopes. Al-Qadsiah won their King's Cup quarter-final. |
| 2025/26 | With Chamusca back in charge, Al-Taawoun finished sixth with 53 points, and Roger Martínez led the scoring with 15 goals. The finish earned a return to the AFC Champions League Two. |
Like most Saudi clubs, Al-Taawoun reshape their squad every summer. Rather than list a roster that will look different after the next transfer window, this table explains how the 2026/27 squad, like those before it, is put together. The pattern has stayed broadly consistent through different coaches and ownership changes across the league, which is why Al-Taawoun have remained competitive while wealthier clubs have spent heavily around them.
| Pillar | How It Works | Examples From Recent Years |
|---|---|---|
| International recruitment | The club signs foreign players within league limits, often targeting forwards who can score heavily | Léandre Tawamba in the cup-winning season and Roger Martínez in 2025/26 |

Al-Taawoun play their main home matches at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Buraidah, which they share with Al-Raed. Some smaller fixtures are played at the club's own stadium, so always check the venue on your listing.
Buraidah is around 320km from Riyadh by highway, roughly three to three and a half hours by car, and there are direct trains between the two cities. Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz International Airport also serves Buraidah with domestic and Gulf flights.
Resale listings for standard league matches typically start around £15, while visits from Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and the Jeddah clubs sit much higher. Prices may change with demand, seat location and the time left before kick-off.
Saudi Pro League tickets are usually released around two weeks before each match, so electronic tickets often arrive close to matchday. Your order confirmation shows the delivery method, and you can follow progress through your account.
Yes. Al-Taawoun won the King's Cup in 2019, beating Al-Ittihad 2–1 in the final in Riyadh, the first time a club from Al-Qassim had lifted the trophy. They also reached the final in 1990 and 2021.
