Saudi El Clásico (Arabic: كلاسيكو السعودية) is the name given to any football match between rival clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad. It is contested at least twice a year in the Saudi Pro League competition and often in other competitions. The rivalry comes about as Riyadh and Jeddah are the two largest cities in Saudi Arabia.[1]
