Two competitive fixtures between Al Qadsiah and Al Ittihad shaped part of the 2026 Saudi Pro League calendar, with Al Qadsiah coming out on top in both encounters.
The heavier result came on 21 May 2026 in Jeddah, where Al Qadsiah defeated Al Ittihad by a scoreline of 5-1. Earlier in the season, on 22 January 2026, the two sides met in Dammam, with Al Qadsiah winning that contest 2-1.
There is some confusion circulating about when and where the 5-1 result took place. To be clear, the wide-margin match was played in Jeddah in May, while the closer 2-1 fixture was staged in Dammam in January. The two games were separate meetings, not a single result.
Why it matters
For the large football-following communities in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, results between two established clubs carry weight across the league standings and the wider season narrative. Accurate reporting of scores, dates, and venues helps fans track their teams reliably.
