The 2025 Saudi Women's Super Cup was the inaugural edition of the Saudi Women's Super Cup, an annual women's football competition contested by clubs from the Saudi Arabian football league system that achieved success in the major competitions of the preceding season.

Qualification

According to the competition format, the champions and runners-up of the 2024–25 Saudi Women's Premier League and the 2024–25 Saudi Women's Cup qualify for the tournament. As Al-Ahli qualified by winning the cup and finishing as league runners-up, the vacant place was awarded to the next highest-ranked team in the Premier League standings not already qualified, which was fourth-placed Al-Shabab.[1]

Withdrawal of Al-Shabab

On 4 August 2025, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation announced that Al-Shabab would be replaced by fifth-placed Al-Ula.[2] As the draw and schedule had already been released, Al-Shabab were fined SAR 125,000, ordered to forfeit any financial allocations from the competition, and banned from participating in the following season.[3] By mid-August, it was reported that Al-Shabab had disbanded their women's section entirely.[4]

Draw

The competition draw was held on 14 May 2025 at the headquarters of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation in Riyadh.[5] The draw was conducted without seeding, using two pots: one containing the names of the four teams and the other containing numbered balls from 1 to 4. A team name was drawn first, followed by a number, with the team placed in the corresponding position in the bracket.[6]
