The game takes place at Al Nahyan Stadium in Abu Dhabi at 7:30 PM local time, bringing together two teams currently dominating their respective leagues.
The timing works perfectly for both clubs. Al Nassr leads the Saudi Pro League table, while Al Wahda sits second in the UAE's ADNOC Pro League. Both leagues are on break, giving Al Nassr the chance to set up a training camp in Abu Dhabi before their upcoming domestic and continental competitions.
Al Nassr will bring their biggest stars to the UAE capital. Ronaldo headlines the squad alongside Sadio Mané and João Félix. The Saudi club is using this Abu Dhabi camp to prepare for what promises to be a busy period ahead.
Al Wahda counters with their own international talent. Global star Dušan Tadić leads their lineup, supported by young prospects like Brahima Diarra and Arnau Pradas. The Emirati club wants to test themselves against top-level opposition as they chase their own title ambitions.
This friendly carries extra weight because both teams are competing in continental tournaments this season. For Al Wahda, it's a chance to measure their progress against one of the region's strongest sides. For Al Nassr, it's valuable match practice in a controlled environment.
