Saudi sports commentator and presenter Walid Al-Faraj has made a bold prediction regarding Al-Nassr’s chances in the Saudi Pro League over the next three seasons. Speaking on his program, Al-Faraj stated that Al-Nassr will not win the league title in the 2025–2026, 2026–2027, or 2027–2028 seasons.
Al-Faraj’s statement came during a live broadcast, where he analyzed the current state of the Saudi league and the performances of the top clubs. He pointed to the strength of rival teams and the challenges facing Al-Nassr as key reasons for his forecast.
“I say it clearly: Al-Nassr will not win the league in the next three seasons,” Al-Faraj said. He added that the club’s current squad and management structure are not sufficient to compete for the title against the dominant forces in the league.
The commentator did not hold back in his criticism, suggesting that Al-Nassr needs major changes if they hope to challenge for the championship. He emphasized that the club’s rivals have built stronger squads and have more stability in their projects.
Al-Faraj’s remarks have sparked widespread reactions among fans and analysts. Supporters of Al-Nassr have expressed their disagreement, while others have acknowledged the difficulties the club faces in closing the gap with the league leaders.
The Saudi Pro League has seen increased competition in recent years, with several clubs investing heavily in top players and coaches. Al-Nassr, despite having star names in their squad, have struggled to maintain consistency in their title challenges.
Al-Faraj concluded his comments by urging Al-Nassr’s management to take serious steps to improve the team’s performance. He warned that without significant changes, the club risks falling further behind in the race for domestic honors.
