Their latest win came 2-1 against Al Wehda, powered by goals from Abdullah Mahbub and Sumaihan Al-Nabit.

The upcoming clash marks the first-ever meeting between these clubs, increasing the curiosity about how the contrasting styles will clash. While Al Nassr is a six-time King’s Cup winner, their last triumph came back in 1990, and they are determined to rewrite recent history with a renewed push for the crown[web:33][web:35].
Key Players to Watch
For Jeddah Club, midfielder Abdullah Bader Mahbub carries the hopes of the home fans after a decisive goal against Al Wehda. His energy and technical ability in transition are vital for Jeddah’s attacking play. On the other hand, it’s hard to look past Cristiano Ronaldo, who netted a brace in Al Nassr’s previous league game and will be eager to add to his tally in cup competition. Young star Joao Felix also presents a constant danger with his mobility and creativity[web:35][web:38].
