Al Nassr will have to wait until March to face Al Ahli after the Saudi Pro League rescheduled three matches.<\/p>\n
The league cited logistical requirements and minimum rest periods between matches in announcing the changes on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Al Ahli\u2019s home meeting with Al Nassr, originally scheduled for October 15, will now take place on 6 March 2027.<\/p>\n
Al Riyadh\u2019s match against Al Hilal and Al Ittihad\u2019s fixture against Al Shabab have both been moved from October 16 to December 19.<\/p>\n
The remaining Matchday Nine fixtures will go ahead as scheduled.<\/p>\n
The schedule changes came during renewed fighting involving Saudi Arabia and Yemen\u2019s Houthis, whose recent attacks targeted airports and energy facilities in the kingdom.<\/p>\n
Al Nassr had already experienced disruption to their AFC Champions League Elite match against Uzbekistan\u2019s Neftchi Fergana in Riyadh on Monday.<\/p>\n
Kick-off was delayed by an hour following a security alert, with Saudi authorities reporting the interception of a missile launched towards the capital.<\/p>\n
The match eventually went ahead, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring in Al Nassr\u2019s 3-1 victory.<\/p>\n
