Al Fateh SC, operating a top-flight men’s football club in the Saudi Pro League, boasts a rich history, including a league title in 2012-13 and participation in the Asian Champions League as recently as 2017. Al Fateh SC focuses on nurturing local talent while maintaining a select number of high-profile foreign players and Head Coaches, including current coach Jens Gustafsson (formerly Pogon Szczecin and Sweden U21s National team coach).
