The SAFF Women's Cup is the top annual cup tournament for women's clubs in Saudi football,[1] run by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation.[2][3]

The Director of Women's Football highlighted that hosting the Saudi Women's Cup represents a significant step in the development plans for women's football. Increasing the number of matches during the season is one of the strategic objectives aimed at enhancing the players' technical skills and fostering competitiveness among teams.[4]

On 31 May 2024, the Saudi Football Federation renewed the exclusive partnership agreement with Saudi National Bank for a period of 3 years to sponsor the Saudi Women's Premier League and also the SAFF Women's Cup.[5]
