•Saudi Pro League
Summary
The Saudi Pro League (SPL), also known as the Roshn Saudi League (RSL) for sponsorship reasons, is a professional association football league in Saudi Arabia and the highest level of the Saudi football league system.
After the end of the 1974–75 Saudi Categorization League, the first season of the Saudi Premier League was the 1976–77 season. The league operated as a round-robin tournament from its inaugural season until the 1989–90 season. After that, the Saudi Federation decided to merge the football league with the King's Cup into one tournament, adding the Golden Box. The Golden Box was an end-of-season knockout competition played between the top four teams of the regular league season. These teams would compete in a semi-final stage to crown the champions of Saudi Arabia. The league reverted to a round-robin system in the 2007–08 season and was rebranded as the Saudi Pro League in 2008.
The Saudi Pro League (SPL) is consistently ranked as the top league in Asia, thanks to the exceptional and consistent performances of its clubs in competitions like the AFC Champions League Elite, and the formerly held Asian Super Cup and Asian Cup Winners' Cup, as well as being regarded as the toughest league on the continent.
Al-Hilal is the most successful team, holding 19 titles in its history, the most recent of which coming in 2023–24. Al-Shabab, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Nassr are also some of the most successful teams in the league.
Beginning in 2023, the league started experiencing widespread international exposure due to attracting numerous top level players from European leagues through financially lucrative contracts, immediately becoming a star-studded league. The nation's Public Investment Fund took 75% stakes in four founding members (Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al-Nassr) in the same year as part of the Saudi Vision 2030 program.
