The Saudi Al-Ahli Club concluded their European training camp with a 1-1 draw against English Fulham FC, in their final preparations for the 2026-2027 season. The Brazilian Ricardo Matias scored for Al-Ahli with a headshot from a corner kick, before Fulham equalized just before the end of the first half through Ryan Sessegnon. During the camp, Al-Ahli achieved one win out of six friendly matches, suffered three defeats, and drew twice, reflecting mixed results during their preparation period. Most of Al-Ahli's foreign players were absent from the match against Portuguese Portimonense, but they returned to participate in the game against Fulham. The team is also preparing to face Al Darreh in their first match back in the Kingdom, as well as Stuttgart of Germany. Meanwhile, Fulham under coach Álvaro Arbeloa has experienced a rocky start to their friendly fixtures, failing to secure a win in two matches, with issues in finishing and defensive mistakes evident.
