The Saudi Super Cup will be held in Kuwait for the first time, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) said on Monday.
The four-team competition will be played at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium from December 19 to 23 and feature Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli, Al-Qadsiah and Al-Kholood.
The semifinal draw is scheduled for October 14.
SAFF president Bader AlReziza and Kuwait Football Association president Sheikh Ahmad Al-Yousef Al-Sabah have signed a hosting agreement.

“Kuwait’s hosting of the Saudi Super Cup represents an important addition to the Gulf sporting landscape,” Sheikh Ahmad said, while AlReziza described the move as an opportunity to broaden the tournament’s regional footprint, engage a wider audience and enhance its commercial appeal.
Kuwait will become the eighth host in the tournament’s history, following editions held in Mecca, Riyadh, Jeddah, Abha, London, Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong.
Asian champion Al-Ahli defeated Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr on penalties to win the last edition in Hong Kong in August 2025.
