Explainer | Saudi Super Cup: Cristiano Ronaldo’s in Hong Kong, but who else is playing?
A look at the teams and stars involved in this week’s tournament at Hong Kong Stadium
Hong Kong is this week playing host to the Saudi Super Cup, which is why Cristiano Ronaldo is in town.
The tournament has been running annually since 2013 but this is the third edition of its four-team format. It brings together the winners and runners-up from the Saudi Pro League and the country’s King's Cup in a mini-tournament, comprising two semi-finals and a final at Hong Kong Stadium.
Hong Kong is its third overseas host city after London – three times – and Abu Dhabi.
Al-Nassr will play Al-Ittihad on Tuesday in the first semi-final. Al-Qadsiah will take on Al-Ahli on Wednesday in the second.
Let’s take a look at the teams taking part.
