The Saudi Football Association Appeals Committee officially announced that after reviewing Riyadh Crescent's appeal, it was ruled that Riyadh Crescent lost 0-3 to Kudisia in the semi-finals of the Sands Super Cup and was banned from participating in the first knockout round next season. The final of Riyadh victory vs. Jeddah Nationals will be held normally tonight.

The Appeal Committee of the Saudi Football Association revised its penalty decision on Riyadh Crescent today. The specific penalty decisions are: Riyadh New Moon was sentenced to 0-3 losses to Kudisia; fined 500,000 Saudi Riyal (about 133,000 US dollars); bear all appeal fees; and cancel the first knockout round next season.

Since the appeal board that made the penalties and the competition board that decided to qualify for Jeddah Nationals belonged to different departments, the judgment would not affect the final of Riyadh victory vs Jeddah Nationals tonight, but Kudisia may then choose to appeal, protesting that he had lost the final.

Event background:

Last month, Riyadh Crescent withdrew from the Saudi Super Cup due to fatigue. Subsequently, the Discipline and Ethics Commission announced the cancellation of the Saudi Super Cup for the 2026/27 season of Riyadh Crescent and fined 500,000 Saudi Riyal (about 133,000 US dollars). Jeddah Nationals took the place to participate, and then Riyadh Crescent chose to appeal.
