Al Hilal secure AFC Champions League Elite spot with third-place league finish
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — Al Hilal have officially booked their place in next season's AFC Champions League Elite after sealing third place in the Saudi Pro League with 75 points on the final matchday. Despite a season marked by setbacks — including missing out on both the league title and King's Cup — the Riyadh giants ensured continued continental presence by securing the final direct qualification spot for Asia's premier club competition. The team had technically clinched qualification in the previous round with a draw against Al Wehda. However, the Saudi Sports Arbitration Center's ruling in favor of Al Nassr's protest over Al Orobah goalkeeper Rafea Al-Ruwaili reignited the race, pushing the battle for Elite spots to the season's final day. Al Hilal's ability to withstand the pressure and deliver in the decisive round reflects the club's pedigree in Asian competitions. The Blues remain one of the continent's most consistent and decorated sides — a reputation they will carry once again into the revamped AFC Champions League Elite.

Three clubs fighting relegation in SPL Roshn League's final round
RIYADH: Three clubs — Al-Wehda, Al-Akhdood and Al-Orobah — will be fighting relegation during the Saudi Pro League (Roshn League) final round on Monday with matches being played simultaneously. Two out of the three clubs will join Al-Raed, who have already been relegated to the first division. As things stand, Al-Wehda is in 15th place with 33 points, Al-Akhdood is in 16th place with 31 points and Al-Orobah is in 17th place with 30 points. Al-Wehda will stay in the league if they win or draw against Al-Ettifaq in Dammam. A loss means they will need both Al-Akhdood and Al-Orobah to also lose or draw. Al-Akhdood must beat Al-Khaleej and hope that Al-Wehda lose, as that would keep Al-Akhdood in the SPL for another new season. Al-Orobah has the most difficult task. They need to beat Al-Taawoun in Al-Jouf and then hope that both Al-Wehda and Al-Akhdood lose. If that happens, Al-Orobah will move above Al-Akhdood in points and tie with Al-Wehda. In that case, Al-Orobah would survive because they have a better head-to-head record against Al-Wehda — losing the first match 2–1 but winning the second 4–2.

Milinković-Savić stunner rescues Al Hilal from late defeat at Al Wehda
Saudi Gazette report JEDDAH — A stoppage-time strike from Serbian midfielder Sergej Milinković-Savić salvaged a 1-1 draw for Al Hilal against Al Wehda on Wednesday, denying the Riyadh giants their first defeat under interim coach Mohammed Al Shalhoub. With the league title already clinched by Al Ittihad, Al Hilal's focus has shifted to securing a top-two finish and a place in next season's AFC Champions League Elite. The result takes Hilal to 72 points, maintaining a four-point cushion over third-placed Al Qadsiah heading into the final round. Al Wehda had taken the lead just six minutes after the restart through Abdulaziz Noor, who capitalized on a defensive lapse to give the Makkah side a surprise advantage. But just as the home fans were beginning to celebrate, Milinković-Savić produced a thunderous finish in the second minute of added time to level the score and preserve Al Hilal's unbeaten record under their legendary former captain, who stepped in following Jorge Jesus' departure. Al Wehda, meanwhile, edged slightly further from the relegation zone, now sitting three points above the drop line with one match left to play.
