The excitement for the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup heightened today as the semi-final pairings were unveiled in Riyadh. Football fans are in for a treat as the draw pitted traditional rivals Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal against each other in a match to be held in Jeddah. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr will lock horns with Al-Khaleej in their home stadium of Riyadh.
Adding to the buzz, the ceremony showcased the cup’s fresh visual identity for the ongoing 2023-2024 season. Former Saudi Arabian national team stalwarts Abdullah Al-Saleh and Nasser Al-Mansour officiated the draw, following the procedures established beforehand by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation’s Competitions Committee President, Naim Al-Bakr.
Mark your calendars for late April, as the semi-finals are set to ignite the pitch. The final match date remains to be determined by the organizers. It’s worth noting that Al-Hilal enters the competition as the reigning champions, having secured victory against Al-Wahda last season at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah.
