The first match came in the draw between three-time King’s Cup champion Al-shabab, who qualified for this role after beating Al-Fatah by 2-1, and Al-Nassr counterpart led by Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
The title has been absent from the coffers of Al-Nassr for many years, namely 1990, the last time he was crowned the champion of this competition among the six times he achieved in his history.
Al-Hilal, the holder of the last edition of the title, will face competition Al-taawoun with its outstanding results in the Saudi Professional League.
Al-litthad, crowned the 2018 flag for the last time, will be the guest of al-Faisali, the champion of the 2021 edition, having successfully eliminated al-Faiha and the star.
Abha, who qualified for the last eight in a resounding upset after winning Al-Ahli by 2-1, will receive the Al-khaleej, which did justice by winning 2-0.
