Green guard, royal gold: Al Ahli Saudi FC launch new 2026-27 kits

Al Ahli Saudi FC and adidas have unveiled the club’s home and away kits for the 2026-27 season, with the two designs drawing on the Saudi Arabian side’s identity, history and long-standing traditions.

The shirts have been created as complementary parts of the same story. The home kit focuses on the close relationship between Al Ahli’s players and supporters, while the away design reflects the club’s continuing pursuit of excellence, ambition and leadership.

Together, the kits present a club that remains proud of its traditions while continuing to shape its future.

The home shirt is inspired by the message “Guardians of the fortress, always present and forever loyal”, highlighting the shared responsibility of players and fans to protect Al Ahli Saudi FC’s identity.

Its design takes inspiration from the famous Makkah Gate in Jeddah and incorporates geometric patterns influenced by a medieval shield. The result is a modern interpretation of strength, unity and determination.

Bold green sections on the shoulders are intended to resemble protective armour, while the updated collar and hem details represent discipline, pride and responsibility.

The away kit adopts the theme “The Royal Club – Born from the past. Celebrating the future”, referring to Al Ahli Saudi FC’s reputation as one of the oldest football clubs in Saudi Arabia.

A clean white base is complemented by gold detailing representing luxury, achievement and ambition. The club’s familiar green accents reinforce its established identity.

The design also marks a significant first in the club’s history, becoming the first Saudi club kit to feature the iconic adidas Originals logo on the pitch. The detail is intended to represent a meeting point between football heritage and contemporary culture.

Both shirts use adidas AEROREADY technology, which is designed to help keep players and supporters comfortable throughout every moment of a match and support performance both on and off the pitch.

Bilal Fares, adidas general manager for emerging markets, said: “This season’s home and away kits reflect two important chapters in Al Ahli Saudi FC’s identity. The home kit celebrates the loyalty and unity of the ‘Guardians of the fortress’, while the away kit honours the club’s famous legacy as ‘The Royal Club’. Together, the designs celebrate the values, culture and ambition that continue to unite generations of Al Ahli supporters.”

Amir Tawfik, chief executive of commercial affairs at Al Ahli Saudi FC, added: “These kits represent more than what our players wear on matchday; they reflect the pride, ambition and sense of belonging that define Al Ahli Saudi FC. Every detail was designed to connect our supporters with the club they love, allowing them to celebrate our rich heritage while looking confidently towards the future. In partnership with adidas, we are proud to present kits that supporters can wear with passion and pride.”

adidas said it remained committed to creating designs that celebrate identity, culture and the distinctive connection between football clubs and their supporters as the sport continues to bring communities together around the world.

The Al Ahli Saudi FC home and away kits for 2026-27 will be available across Saudi Arabia and in selected markets from 12 August 2026.
