A well-informed source told Al-Riyadiya that the management of Al-Nassr Club is planning to withdraw from the West Asian Women's Football Championship, after the team secured its place by winning the Saudi League title last season. The source attributed the potential withdrawal to the severe financial crisis the club is experiencing, which has cast a shadow over the team's preparations for the new season and prevented approval of contract renewals or new deals. He added that the number of currently registered players does not meet the minimum required for registration, as the player lists will close on July 26. The tournament draw, held in Jordan from July 28 to August 5, placed Al-Nassr in Group Two with Al-Hilal of Syria and North Oil of Iraq, while Group One included Jordan Union, FC Emirates, and Beirut Academy of Lebanon.

This development comes at a time when Saudi women's football is witnessing rapid growth at both domestic and continental levels.

Al-Nassr's withdrawal from the tournament could deprive fans of watching their team in its first continental participation, and it also highlights the financial challenges facing Saudi clubs in supporting women's teams. Sports circles are awaiting the stance of the Saudi Football Federation on this step, especially with the approaching deadline for list closures.
