Al Nassr secured the 2025–2026 Saudi Roshn League title — the 11th league championship in the club’s history — after defeating Damac 4–1 in the final round, in a night that saw “Al-Alami” crowned champions under the leadership of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Saudi Minister of Sport Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal presented the league trophy to Al Nassr following the victory.

The goals came through Senegalese star Sadio Mané in the 34th minute of the first half, before Kingsley Coman added the second in the 52nd minute. Cristiano Ronaldo then scored the third and fourth goals in the 63rd and 81st minutes. Damac’s lone goal came via Guinean forward Morlaye Sylla from the penalty spot in the 58th minute.

Coverage & Analysis

Al Nassr entered the final round at the top of the standings, under pressure from closest rivals Al Hilal, before sealing the title officially with victory over Damac.

The season featured several major highlights for Al Nassr, including:

• A long winning streak.
• One of the league’s strongest attacking records throughout the season.
• Cristiano Ronaldo’s decisive leadership and scoring influence.
• Strong performances in key direct clashes against rivals.

The defeat also confirmed Damac’s relegation to the First Division.

The champions finished the season with 86 points from 28 wins, 2 draws, and 4 defeats, narrowly edging Al Hilal, who finished second with 84 points.

Since the launch of the Saudi Pro League era in 2008, Al Nassr had previously won the title in 2014, 2015, and 2019, adding a fourth Pro League-era title this season.

This season’s triumph was more than just another championship for Al Nassr. It represented the success of a long-term project built on:

• Technical stability.
• Administrative support.
• Offensive power.
• The ability to overcome pressure in decisive moments.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s role also evolved beyond commercial or fan value, becoming a decisive on-field factor, especially in major matches and crucial stages of the season.

At the same time, Al Nassr’s title reflects the broader transformation taking place in Saudi football — not only through global stars, but through rising competitiveness, international visibility, and growing worldwide attention toward the Saudi league.
