Walid Al-Faraj says four clubs anchor the league.

On «Rotana Sport with Walid», Walid Al-Faraj was discussing why other clubs get less attention than the “big four.” His answer was a hard division: four clubs, he said, make up the country’s solid core for fan attention, crowds, marketing and money; the rest complete the 18-team league. The report also gives season-to-date attendance figures, but doesn’t say these are the four he meant: Al Hilal leads with 107,688, followed by Al Ittihad at 103,215 and Al Nassr at 101,054. The numbers offer context, not a list of his four. His point was about the clubs’ unequal impact, not the number of teams in the league.
