[de] Al-Ahli (Saudi-Arabien)

Al-Ahli (arabisch النادي الأهلي, DMG an-Nādī al-Ahlī) ist ein saudischer Sportverein in Dschidda. Der Verein ist einer der größten des Landes. Die Herren-Fußballmannschaft spielt in der Saudi First Division. Ihre Heimspiele trägt die Mannschaft im Prinz Sultan bin Fahd Stadion aus. Genau wie die saudi-arabische Fußballnationalmannschaft spielt al-Ahli in grün-weißen Trikots und hat traditionell viele saudische Nationalspieler im Kader. Obwohl bereits 1937 gegründet, haben die Fußballer bezüglich zählbarer Erfolge in der Meisterschaft nur wenig aufzuweisen. Bisher gewann man lediglich drei Meisterschaften, 1978, 1984 und 2016. Mit zehn Titeln im King Cup ist man jedoch Rekordhalter. Größter internationaler Erfolg war das Erreichen des Finals der AFC Champions League 1986. Dort unterlag man den Daewoo Royals mit 1:3.
