When discussing major Arab derbies, the Jeddah Derby is one of the first that springs to mind, pitting Al-Ahli against Al-Ittihad—a duo of the most important clubs not just in the history of Saudi Arabia, but across the entire Arab nation.
There is a long history of confrontations between Al-Ameed and “The Castle of Cups” (Qala’at Al-Ku’us) across various tournaments.
Undoubtedly, the Saudi League has been the competition where the Red Sea Bride Derby has been played most often, and these matches have frequently been decisive in determining the champion or the overall fate of the two teams.

The two sides renew their rivalry in the Saudi League in the eighth round at the Jewel Stadium (King Abdullah Sports City Stadium – Al-Jawhara Al-Mushia’ah).
Sérgio Conceição is still searching for his first domestic victory with Al-Ameed. The legendary draw against Al-Khaleej last round, followed by the victory over Sharjah in the AFC Champions League Elite, will undoubtedly be the perfect incentive for Karim Benzema and his teammates to win the Derby and return to the right track domestically.
On the other side, Al-Ahli has not suffered any domestic defeat this season. The Asian champion is ranked as a strong title contender despite significant criticism regarding the performance of Matthias Jaissle’s squad, who currently sit in sixth place with 13 points, compared to Al-Ittihad’s 11 points in eighth place.
