Squad24 Aug 2026

Koen Casteels keeps Al-Qadisiyah in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market24 Aug 2026

Al-Nassr come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Al-Qadisiyah did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market24 Aug 2026

Waleed Al-Ahmad asks to leave Al-Qadisiyah

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market24 Aug 2026

Ibrahim Mahnashi attracts admirers

The name of Ibrahim Mahnashi has come up in conversations Al-Qadisiyah were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Match22 Aug 2026

Al-Qadisiyah and Al-Ittihad take a point apiece

It finished 1-1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Abdullah Al-Salem finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Al-Qadisiyah have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

In brief

  • Market Otávio linked with a move away
  • Squad Nacho has company in his position
  • Squad The selectors could not leave Nacho out

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market17 Aug 2026

Haitham Asiri hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Al-Qadisiyah can pretend not to have heard.

Market17 Aug 2026

Najran come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Al-Qadisiyah did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market17 Aug 2026

Al-Qadisiyah sign Hamed Al-Ghamdi for $4.6M

The paperwork is done: Hamed Al-Ghamdi joins from Al-Ittihad in a deal worth $4.6M. Now comes the harder part.

Match15 Aug 2026

Al-Ra'ed take the points off Al-Qadisiyah

Beaten 1-3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Gastón Álvarez

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market17 Aug 2026

A long bet from Al-Qadisiyah on Mohammed Al-Mutairi

He is 16, and nobody at Al-Qadisiyah signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Nahitan Nández asks to leave Al-Qadisiyah

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market3 Aug 2026

Al-Qadisiyah turn down Fenerbahce for Julián Quiñones

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market3 Aug 2026

Mateo Retegui attracts admirers

The name of Mateo Retegui has come up in conversations Al-Qadisiyah were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market3 Aug 2026

Otávio wants more than Al-Qadisiyah are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Nacho stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Nacho and Al-Qadisiyah agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Gastón Álvarez asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
