The 2019 Saudi Super Cup was the sixth edition of the Saudi Super Cup, an annual football match contested by the winners of the previous season's Saudi Pro League and King Cup competitions.

The match was played on 4 January 2020 between Al-Nassr, the winners of the 2018–19 Saudi Pro League, and Al-Taawoun, the winners of the 2019 King Cup.[4]

It was the first edition of the Saudi Super Cup to be held at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.[5]

Al-Nassr won 5–4 on penalties after a 1–1 draw at the end of extra time, claiming their first Saudi Super Cup title.[6][7]

Venue

[edit]

The King Abdullah Stadium, also known as the Jewel Stadium, was announced as the venue of the final on 11 November 2019.[1] This was the first time the King Abdullah Sports City hosted the final and was the third time it was hosted in Saudi Arabia.

Background

[edit]
Main articles: 2018–19 Al-Nassr FC season, 2018–19 Saudi Pro League, and 2019 King's Cup (Saudi Arabia)

This will be Al-Nassr's third appearance in the Saudi Super Cup and their first in four years. They previously finished as runners-up in the 2014 and 2015 editions. In contrast, this will be Al-Taawoun's first appearance in the competition.

Both clubs will be aiming to win the Saudi Super Cup for the first time. Al-Nassr failed to win in their two previous appearances, while Al-Taawoun will be making their debut and become the seventh team to participate in the competition.[8]

Al-Nassr qualified by winning the 2018–19 Saudi Pro League on the final matchday, defeating Al-Batin 2–1.[9] Al-Taawoun qualified by winning their first King's Cup title, defeating defending champions Al-Ittihad 2–1 in the final.[10]

The two teams met twice in the 2018–19 season, with each team winning one match.

The match was originally scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi on 24 January 2020.[11] However, on 11 November 2019, the Saudi Football Federation announced the match would be held on 4 January 2020 in Jeddah to accommodate the Spanish Super Cup, which was taking place in the same week and venue.[12]
