Riyad Mahrez
April 2026

Riyad Mahrez has reportedly paid for 1,000 tickets for Al-Ahli fans ahead of the club’s knockout clash with Al-Duhail in Jeddah, as he tries to help create a stronger home atmosphere for a key continental match. Mahrez made the gesture to help fill the stands and push Al-Ahli toward the quarter-finals. This appears to be media-reported rather than club-announced, but it has quickly become a major talking point around the fixture.
