Al Ittihad: Latest Club News, Results & Transfer Updates

If you follow Saudi football, you know Al Ittihad is always in the conversation. Whether you’re a die‑hard fan or just curious about the league’s biggest name, this page gives you quick, practical info on what’s happening with the club right now.

Al Ittihad started the season with a solid home win against Al Nassr, showing the kind of attacking flair that made them champions a few years back. Coach Fabio Carille has stuck to a high‑press system, and the midfield combo of Fahad Al-Muwallad and Marcos Leonardo is finally clicking. The team’s goal difference sits at +12 after eight games, placing them in the top three and keeping the title race alive.

Recent Match Results

The most recent fixture was a 2‑1 victory over Al Hilal at the King Abdullah Sports City. Al Ittihad took the lead early through a well‑placed header from Abdulaziz Al‑Bishi, and a second half strike from new signing Jorge Valdez sealed the win. The defense held firm despite a late surge from Al Hilal, with goalkeeper Abdullah Al‑Jabri pulling off a couple of crucial saves.

Looking ahead, the next three games are crucial: a derby against Al Ahli, an away trip to Al Taawoun, and a cup tie versus Al Fateh. All three matchups could impact the club’s league standing and cup ambitions, so fans are already planning travel and ticket purchases. Early‑bird ticket bundles are on sale, offering a discount for fans who buy a set of three games together.

Transfer Rumors & Squad Changes

Winter transfer window chatter has been buzzing around Al Ittihad. The most talked‑about target is Brazilian winger Fábio Santos, whose speed could add another dimension to the attack. Sources close to the club say negotiations are in the final stages, with a potential fee around €12 million.

On the outgoing side, midfielder Saeed Al‑Owairan is rumored to be linked with a move to Al Ittihad’s rivals, Al Shabab. If that deal goes through, Al Ittihad will likely look to promote youth academy prospect Abdullah Al‑Saadi, who has impressed in recent under‑23 matches.

Beyond transfers, the club recently announced a partnership with a leading sports‑wear brand, offering fans exclusive gear and limited‑edition jerseys. The new kit drops next week and includes a special “Fan Badge” that unlocks discounts on match tickets and merchandise.
