Special Matchup Between Yassine Bounou and Youssef En-Nesyri in the Saudi League
Thursday 19-02-2026
All eyes will be on the "Kingdom Arena" next Saturday, which will host the highlight of the 23rd round of the Saudi Roshn League, as Al Hilal welcomes Al Ittihad in a match with a special Moroccan flair.

The match features a direct clash between Moroccan internationals Yassine Bounou, the Al Hilal goalkeeper, and Youssef En-Nesyri, the Al Ittihad striker, in their first encounter since En-Nesyri's transfer to the Saudi team during the last winter transfer window from Turkish club Fenerbahçe.

The confrontation has a distinct competitive nature, especially as it brings together two teammates from the Moroccan national team. They have faced each other twice before, with the matches extending to 120 minutes, but En-Nesyri has not yet succeeded in scoring against Bounou.

The anticipated summit is not only important for the league standings, but it also extends to this individual rivalry that adds a special flavor to a match considered one of the highlights of the round.
