Al Nassr have officially secured the Saudi Pro League title following a dramatic final-matchday victory over Damac.
The win brings a thrilling domestic campaign to a triumphant close, guaranteeing the club the championship ahead of fierce rivals Al Hilal.
Champions of Saudi Arabia
Entering the final round of fixtures with a slender two-point lead over Al Hilal, Jorge Jesus’s side knew that only a victory would guarantee the title without relying on results elsewhere. Al Nassr delivered under immense pressure, putting aside recent continental disappointment to secure the crucial three points at home.
The victory sparks wild celebrations in Riyadh, capping off a relentless season characterized by a phenomenal 20-match winning streak across all competitions earlier in the year. Despite late-season stumbles—including a tense 1-1 draw against Al Hilal and a shock defeat to Al Qadsiah—Al Nassr held their nerve when it mattered most to cross the finish line.
Ronaldo Captures First Major Saudi Trophy
For captain Cristiano Ronaldo, the league triumph marks a monumental milestone. Since his high-profile arrival in Riyadh in 2023, the 41-year-old global icon has broken numerous individual goal-scoring records but had yet to lift a major trophy with the club.
After suffering heartbreak just days ago in the AFC Champions League Two final against Gamba Osaka, Ronaldo and his teammates channeled their frustration into the perfect domestic response. The Portuguese superstar’s leadership and clinical form throughout the 2025–26 campaign proved to be the driving force behind Al Nassr’s march to glory, finally adding the prestigious Saudi Pro League title to his legendary resume.
End of a Dominant Campaign
Al Nassr’s title charge was built on an incredibly productive attack, featuring stars like Sadio Mané and João Félix alongside Ronaldo, combined with a disciplined defensive foundation.
By neutralizing Damac’s relegation-threatened resistance, Al Nassr ensured that Al Hilal’s parallel result against Al Fayha became irrelevant. The trophy returns to Al Awwal Park, signaling a shifting of the guard in Saudi football after a masterful season of resilience and star power.
