The Roshn Saudi League Matchweek 8 fixture between Abha and Al Faisaly has been postponed. The game, originally set for Sunday, 11 October 2026, will now be played on Tuesday, 27 October 2026, at Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Abha.
The decision was taken by the Saudi Pro League, which pointed to circumstances beyond the control of the two clubs. The league confirmed that the postponement was handled in line with the approved competition procedures.
The venue for the rescheduled match remains unchanged, with Abha set to host the encounter on home ground. Supporters planning to attend should note the new date before making travel or ticketing arrangements.
Fixture changes are a routine part of a long league season, but they can affect fans, travel plans, and the wider matchday community around the stadium. For residents in the Abha area and visiting supporters, confirming the updated schedule in advance helps avoid any confusion on the day.
Both clubs will now continue their league campaigns with the revised calendar in place, and the full details of the rescheduled Matchweek 8 meeting stand as announced.
