Al Taawoun – Latest News, Results & Insights
If you follow Saudi football, you know Al Taawoun is a name that pops up when the league gets heated. Whether you’re a die‑hard fan or just curious about who’s winning, this page gives you the quick rundown you need – no fluff, just the facts.
Based in Buraidah, Al Taawoun plays its home games at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, a venue that can hold over 25,000 cheering supporters. The club’s colors are orange and white, and the nickname “The Falcons” fits the way they attack the box.
Recent Match Results
The last few weeks have been a roller‑coaster for the Falcons. In their most recent league match, they beat Al Nassr 2‑1 thanks to a late penalty from forward Abdullah Al‑Rashidi. The win pushed them up to fifth place, putting them back in the conversation for an AFC Champions League spot.
Before that, they drew 1‑1 with Al Hilal, another heavyweight. Al‑Rashidi scored early, but Al Hilal equalised in the second half. The draw felt like a missed chance for Al Taawoun to climb higher, but it also showed they can hold their own against the big boys.
Looking ahead, the next fixture is against Al Ittihad at home. Expect a tight game – Al Ittihad’s defense is solid, but the Falcons have been scoring in bursts. Keep an eye on midfielder Saad Al‑Ghannam; his playmaking could be the difference.
Transfer Talk & Player Spotlights
Off the pitch, the transfer window has been buzzing. Rumors link Al Taawoun with a loan deal for Egyptian striker Mahmoud Kahraba, who’s been impressive in the Egyptian Premier League. If the deal goes through, Kahraba could give the team a new goal‑scoring edge.
Another name floating around is Dutch defender Jasper Cillessen, who’s reportedly keen on a short‑term contract to bring experience to the back line. The club’s coach, Nabil Maâloul, has stressed that any new signing must fit the team’s fast‑moving style.
On the homegrown side, goalkeeper Mohammed Al‑Owais continues to earn rave reviews. His reflex saves against Al Ahli last month earned him a man‑of‑the‑match award and sparked talks about a national team call‑up.
Fans also love the young winger Fahad Al‑Muwallad, who’s already racked up three assists in the last five games. His pace on the flank makes him a constant threat, and his confidence is sky‑high after a recent brace in a cup match.
Beyond scores and signings, the club is focusing on community projects. They’ve launched a youth academy partnership with local schools, aiming to nurture the next generation of Saudi talent. If you’re in Buraidah, you might see free training sessions on Saturdays – a great way to feel the club’s pulse.
