Venue confirmed for Saudi Clasico

The Saudi Pro League (SPL) Competitions Department announced on Thursday the venue for this month's Roshn Saudi League Matchweek 4 fixture between Al Hilal and Al Ittihad.

The match, billed the Saudi Clasico, will take place at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Sports City Stadium in Riyadh on Saturday September 21, at the same previously announced kick-off time of 9pm. The decision was made based on communication by Al Hilal regarding the expected dates for the club’s home ground of Kingdom Arena to be ready to host RSL matches.

Al Hilal and Al Ittihad are the past two Saudi top-flight champions, with the Riyadh club the current RSL holders.
