Background
Al-Hilal reached their 16th final after a 2–0 win against Abha.[12] This was Al-Hilal's first final since 2017, and fourth final since the tournament was reintroduced. Al-Hilal won their two most recent finals against Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr.
The two teams met earlier in the week in the fifth round of the Pro League. Al-Hilal defeated Al-Nassr 2–0 thanks to goals from Bafétimbi Gomis and Saleh Al-Shehri.[14] This was the 19th meeting between these two sides in the King Cup and fifth meeting in the final. Al-Hilal won eight times including the 1989 Final, while Al-Nassr won four times including the 1981 Final and 1987 Final. The two teams drew each other six times, with Al-Hilal winning the 2015 Final on penalty shoot-outs. This was the 169th competitive meeting between these two sides.[15]
