Riyad Mahrez has set his sights on delivering another trophy after helping Al Ahli Jeddah lift their first-ever AFC Champions League title.
The Algerian star played a key role in the team’s 2-0 win over Japan’s Kawasaki on Saturday night at Al Inmaa Stadium in Jeddah, sealing a historic moment for the Saudi club.
The celebrations continued on Monday evening with a glittering ceremony hosted by the Ministry of Sports at the Abadi Al-Jawhar Theatre, where players, staff, and fans came together to mark the club’s continental success.
During the event, Mahrez stood before the crowd and shared a heartfelt message.
“I promised you last season that we would win the AFC Champions League title, and today this goal has been achieved,” he said.
“I promise you that we will endeavour to win the Saudi Professional League title in the next season 2025-2026.”
With the AFC trophy now secured, Mahrez’s new vow has already stirred excitement among fans eager for more success.
