Al-Nassr takes on Arkadag of Turkmenistan with a place in the quarterfinals of the Asian Champions League Two on the line. Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli are all majority owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. In a statement, the SPL outlined that no player is bigger than the club or the league. "The Saudi Pro League is structured around a simple principle: every club operates independently under the same rules," the league said. Al-Ahli, which won its first Champions League title in May, is also guaranteed a spot in the knockout stage.
