Al-Ahli have outlined their new season early, after announcing their friendly match program as part of their external pre-season camp, a step aimed at providing the right atmosphere to launch a new championship season locally and continentally.

Al-Ahli will play 7 friendlies during the preparation period, starting with a match against Czech side Viktoria Plzen on July 11, then Holstein Kiel of Germany on July 15, and Austrian side Ried on July 19, before moving to Portugal to face Vitoria Guimaraes on July 24, then Portimonense and English side Fulham on July 28, and concluding their preparation program with a match against Saudi side Abha on August 6.

Al-Ahli's preparations have not been limited to the early camp; they have also bolstered their ranks with a number of foreign players during the summer transfer window, as part of a technical plan aimed at enhancing the team's quality and giving German coach Matthias Jaissle more options, in line with the scale of competitions awaiting the team next season.

Al-Ahli's management aims to translate these preparations into results on the pitch, amid the aspirations of their fans, who place the Intercontinental Cup and the Roshn Saudi League at the top of priorities, after the team became one of the most prominent Saudi and continental clubs in recent years.

Al-Ahli are set for a historic participation in the Intercontinental Cup for the second consecutive season, becoming the only team to participate in the tournament in two consecutive editions, reflecting the status the club has achieved at the continental level.

Al-Ahli had participated in the previous edition of the tournament, but their journey was halted after a loss to Egypt's Pyramids, leaving the competition despite impressive performances.

In the upcoming edition, the team enters with greater ambitions, aiming to go as far as possible and win the title that its fans await, along with a strong competition for the Roshn Saudi League title, as the club's two main objectives for the new season.
