Free Tickets and a Family Day in Medina

Medina is bracing for one of the Yellow League’s most anticipated clashes as Al-Ula faces Diriyah on Monday, October 20, under the lights of Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Stadium. The match is being billed as a pivotal moment in the title race, with both clubs eager to set the pace at the top of the table.

After four rounds, the leaders sit on 10 points each, making victory here crucial to pull ahead and send a clear message about the season’s trajectory.

In a bold move, Al-Ula has turned the event into a fan carnival by offering free tickets to all attendees, a gesture designed to fill the stands and celebrate football as a community celebration.

The plan goes beyond tactics; the club promises a broad entertainment program around the venue to deliver a memorable day for families visiting Medina.

Tickets can be reserved through a dedicated link, with organizers urging early bookings to guarantee seats and avoid disappointment. The aim is to bring everyone together to enjoy quality football without the usual price tag.

Alongside the match, a festive atmosphere will spill into the surrounding area with activities, food stalls, and official merchandise, turning the stadium into a full-day experience for adults and kids alike.

Access to the supporters’ zone is scheduled for 5:00 p.m., three hours before kickoff, and the schedule includes raffles, interactive games, and prizes, plus dining options to keep energy high until the whistle.

Images accompanying the event show fans buzzing with anticipation as they prepare to back their teams in what could be a decisive night at the table’s summit.

The free-ticket initiative is more than a gimmick; it aims to boost attendance, create a festival-like atmosphere, and showcase Medina as a city that loves football as a family-friendly experience.

With everyone invited to enjoy a top-flight derby at no cost, the day promises a vibrant, inclusive celebration of sport, community, and camaraderie — and perhaps a few surprises to remember for years to come.

Punchline 1: If tickets are free, the only thing you’ll pay for is a snack run.

Punchline 2: The crowd’s so loud that even the mascot asked for a louder mic.
