The 2026 Saudi Super Cup will be hosted in Kuwait for the first time, according to a recent announcement by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF). The four-team competition will be held from December 19 to 23 at the Jaber Al Ahmad International Stadium. The participating teams are last year's losing finalists, Al Nassr, Al Ahli, Al Qadsiah, and Al Kholood.
The semi-final draw is scheduled for October 14. Kuwait's hosting of the Saudi Super Cup is seen as a significant addition to the Gulf sporting landscape, reflecting the strong fraternal relations between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, according to Sheikh Ahmad Al Yousef Al Sabah, president of the Kuwait Football Association. He emphasized the enthusiasm for Saudi football among Kuwaiti fans.
This will mark Kuwait's eighth hosting of the competition, which has previously taken place in Mecca, Riyadh, Jeddah, Abha, London, Abu Dhabi, and Hong Kong. The most recent edition, held in Hong Kong last August, saw Asian champions Al Ahli defeat Al Nassr on penalties to win the trophy. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo scoring his 100th goal for Al Nassr in that final, Al Ahli still fell short of the title.
