AL QADSIAH CLUB HISTORY

Ultra-ambitious, the Al Khobar-based club returned to the Roshn Saudi League this season for the first time since 2020-21 – by virtue of winning the Saudi First Division League last term.

Al Qadsiah’s glory days in the 1990s saw them win the now defunct Asian Cup Winners Cup back in 1993-94, becoming the first Saudi club to win that title. 

Backed this summer by significant investment, Al Qadsiah recruited recent Real Madrid captain Nacho, former Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Barcelona forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Belgium goalkeeper Koen Casteels. They are managed by Real Madrid great Michel.
