“Saudi Competitions” is considering holding the Super Cup on April 8 and 12 next
Informed sources told Asharq Al-Awsat that the Competitions Committee of the Saudi Football Federation is studying an option to start the Saudi Super Cup on the 29th of the holy month of Ramadan, corresponding to the 8th of next April, with the final being held on the 12th of the same month.
The same sources indicated that the options before the committee are very difficult in light of the crowded calendar of Saudi, Asian and international competitions. The decision of the Asian Football Confederation to determine the playoff competitions in the AFC Champions League has contributed to the confusion in scheduling the Super Cup, which was scheduled to be held at the end of last January.
There are still a number of options on the table of the Competitions Committee of the Saudi Football Association, which is expected to determine the date of the Super Cup within the next two weeks, with the importance of the city in which the two matches will be held.
The Saudi clubs participating in the AFC Champions League were confused after the Saudi League announced the calendar for the remaining rounds of the league. Asharq Al-Awsat sources learned that the League Association did not discuss the clubs participating in the AFC Champions League, namely Al-Hilal, Al-Nasr and Al-Ittihad, before announcing the calendar for the remaining rounds of the competition.
The association decided to reveal the dates for the 25th to 30th rounds, as the 25th round was set to take place on Friday, March 29th.
This round includes five matches that start simultaneously at ten in the evening. The competitions will conclude with the 30th round on Saturday, May 4, 2024, where three matches will be held.
The dates for rounds 31 to 34 will be determined later after setting the final date for the King’s Cup.
The ambition of these clubs to qualify for the advanced stages of the continental championship clashes with this crowded schedule, especially since the three clubs are in the semi-finals of the King’s Cup and the Saudi Super Cup.
This move sparked a lot of controversy among the clubs participating in the AFC Champions League, especially since it was unusual. Which may directly affect their preparations for important matches in the continental championship.
Saudi clubs were facing a busy schedule in the AFC Champions League, with matches looming on the horizon shortly after each other.
Al Hilal faces Al-Ittihad in the quarter-finals of the tournament, while Al-Nasr faces the Emirati team Al-Ain. The first-leg matches of the quarter-finals are scheduled to begin on the fourth and fifth of next March, while the return matches will be held on the eleventh and twelfth of the same month.
In light of this busy schedule and the lack of participation in determining the dates of the rounds, the clubs participating in the AFC Champions League are required to adapt and prepare well for the challenges ahead.
Al-Hilal, Al-Nasr and Al-Ittihad are striving to achieve positive results in the continental championship and achieve the dream of winning the title. Especially with the state of enthusiasm among their fans, with many international stars supporting their ranks.
The clubs, led by their technical staff, work hard to achieve the best possible results, as they develop precise strategies and intensive training to prepare the players physically and psychologically, in addition to analyzing the performance of competing teams and preparing innovative plans to win matches.
Therefore, the journey of Saudi clubs in the AFC Champions League continues with its challenges and epic matches. The audience is eagerly awaiting these exciting confrontations, with the dream of winning the Asian title in the end.
