The Jeddah Derby also known as the Red Sea Derby (Arabic: ديربي جدة, romanized: derbi jeddah), is the football matches contested between Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad, both from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. For more than 70 years, it used to be the longest running top-flight derby in Saudi Arabian football. The rivalry started in 1951 and is considered to be one of the strongest and most viewed matches in Asia and the Arab world. The rivalry was halted when Al-Ahli were relegated in 2022 to the 2022–23 Saudi First Division League for the first time in their history.
