Saudi School League opens registration for seventh edition

The organizing committee for the School League has announced that registration for the seventh edition of the school football league is open from October 18 until November 12, 2026. The tournament is held under the supervision of the Ministry of Sport in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, and is organized by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation in collaboration with the Saudi Arabian School Sports Federation.

The upcoming season expects participation from 20,000 school teams competing in 120,000 matches across 47 cities and governorates throughout Saudi Arabia. The competition will span approximately six months, with each team playing 12 matches. The league includes four age categories for both boys and girls: under 9, under 12, under 13, and under 15 years old.

The tournament structure consists of four competitive stages: internal school championships, a general championship at the city and governorate level starting December 6, 2026, a regional championship for the under-15 category in May 2027, and finally the Kingdom Elite Championship in June 2027. The league aims to expand the football player base, discover national talent at an early age, and promote teamwork and sportsmanship.
