The King Cup (sometimes spelled King's Cup) (Arabic: كأس الملك|''kass al-malik''),[1] officially known as The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' Cup (Arabic: كأس خادم الحرمين الشريفين|''kass khadim al-haramayn al-sharifayn''), is the Saudi Arabian football knockout cup competition.
The cup was created in 1957 and was played until 1990. It was re-launched again in 2007 as "King's Cup of Champions", and was played by only the top 6 finishers of the Saudi Pro League plus the Crown Prince Cup and Federation Cup winners. In 2014 it was renamed as "King's Cup", the competition returned to its roots by implementing the old format.[2]
The cup winner will be guaranteed a place in the AFC Champions League Two.[3] If the cup winner finishes in the top 3 in the Saudi Pro League, which means they will go to the AFC Champions League Elite, the slot goes to the fourth placed team in the table
