History and format
In November 2023, the board of directors of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation approved the establishment of the Women's Second Division League,[1] in response to the continued growth of women's football in the country.[2]
In January 2024, the federation finalized the format for the Women's Second Division League. The competition consists of two phases: a regional group stage played in a home-and-away format, followed by a centralized final stage. The top teams from each group advance, with the champion and runner-up earning promotion to the First Division. Two teams will be relegated from the First Division to accommodate this promotion.[3]
In October 2024, it was announced that 25 teams would participate in the inaugural edition. The group stage will be held in a regionally centralized format, with teams playing a double round-robin (home and away). Eight teams will qualify for the final stage: the top five group winners and the three best second-placed teams.[4]
The final stage will be played in a centralized format, beginning with the quarter-finals in a single-elimination format. The teams that finish first and second in the final round will be promoted to the First Division for the following season.[4]
