Al-Nassr prepares private jet to bring João Félix back before Al-Ahli clash

Al-Nassr is preparing to bring its Portuguese forward João Félix back to Jeddah on a private jet after his international duty, in an effort to make him available for the upcoming Saudi Pro League match against Al-Ahli. According to Al-Yaum, the club is arranging for him to return directly after Portugal’s match against Wales.

The arrangement aims to reduce Félix’s travel time and avoid the delays associated with regular flights, but his return does not guarantee that he will play. The coaching staff will assess his physical condition after international duty and travel before deciding whether he is fit. The report said that Félix has become an important attacking option for Al-Nassr, and that the club is seeking to make use of him despite the challenges posed by the international fixture schedule.

The Al-Ahli–Al-Nassr match in the ninth round is scheduled for Friday, 20 November 2026, at 8:30 p.m. Saudi time, at Alinma Stadium in King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah. The international break mentioned in the report runs from 9 to 17 November 2026.
