Al Taawon

Make The Case

Here is the argument for Al Taawon: Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia Professional League, and a ground called Al-Majma'ah Sports City, Al-Majma'ah. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

• Loaded cabinet

  6 distinct honours on record, including Saudi First Division League (tier 2). Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.

• Close to the pitch

  Al-Majma'ah Sports City, Al-Majma'ah holds about 6,266. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.

• You get a nickname

  Known as Al-Annabi (The Burgundy) Annabi Sudair (The Burgundy of Sudair). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.

• Easy weekend

  Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz International Airport (ELQ) is about 19km from the ground, and Qassim railway station is 19km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
