A historical comparison with the seasons of crowning and competition
Looking back at the historical records of the Saudi Professional League, this new record surpasses the previous record by just one point, achieved in the 2011–2012 season, when Al-Ahli amassed 61 points after 25 matches. In third place historically is the exceptional 2015–2016 season, with 60 points at the same stage.

Statistics also show that Al-Ahli had collected 58 points after 25 rounds in the 2014–2015 season, while their points tally reached 52 in the 2017–2018 season. These varying figures undoubtedly confirm that the current version of the team is performing at an exceptional level, confirming the strong and fierce presence of the "Castle of Cups" in the race for top positions and the league title, amidst fierce competition with the major Saudi clubs.
The importance of achievement in light of current sporting developments
This points tally is of paramount importance given the overall context and the tremendous development currently underway in the Saudi Professional League. The competition is no longer limited to local names; it now includes some of the world's most prominent football stars.

Al-Ahli's fans, known for their immense passion and constant support, have played a pivotal role in propelling the team to these consecutive victories and overcoming obstacles.
Regional influence and a return to the Asian forefront
Regionally and internationally, this consistent points tally strengthens Al-Ahli's chances of a strong return to the podium and international competitions, particularly in the AFC tournaments.
