Al-Ahly Placed in First Level of Saudi Professional League, Avoiding Top Contenders in Next Season

Sources revealed that the competitions committee in the Saudi Professional League will place Al-Ahly in the first level, regardless of its recent rise.

According to this decision, Al-Ahly will avoid facing the defending champion Al-Ittihad, its runner-up Al-Nasr, or the third-place holder Al-Hilal, in the first rounds of the next season for the championship, according to Al-Sharq Al-Awsat.

It is noteworthy that the South African, Pesto Mosimane, stated earlier that his contract with Al-Ahly was automatically renewed after the promotion to the Roshen League, indicating that stopping the team’s matches during the last World Cup helped him prepare the players better.
