Consequences of Al-Nassr's Poor Season Continue.. Al-Ahli Causes a Major Crisis for the Global Team
In an unexpected surprise, the features of the Roshen Saudi League table changed after the thirtieth round, as Al-Nassr suffered a harsh defeat at the hands of Al-Ittihad with a score of 3-2, losing its third place to Al-Ahli and getting closer to a continental disaster.
Al-Nassr now occupies fourth place with 60 points, a position that does not guarantee its presence in the 2026 AFC Champions League, especially after Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad secured the first and second places with a high percentage, and Al-Ahli's recent championship title.
The Global team aimed to secure one of the three qualifying spots for the major Asian tournament, but it is now threatened with playing in the second edition of the AFC Champions League, which does not align with the aspirations of its fans or the names of the stars in its ranks.
The new system of the Asian Football Confederation states that Al-Ahli's participation in the continental tournament as the title holder affects the distribution of spots, granting the third place a chance if Al-Ahli finishes as the runner-up, which has not been achieved after this round.
Here is the Roshen League standings after the thirtieth round: Al-Ittihad at the top with 71 points, followed by Al-Hilal with 65, then Al-Ahli with 61, while Al-Nassr has dropped to fourth place with 60 points, meaning its exit from the elite race.
