Al-Harthi, 22, wasted no time proving her worth. Alongside defensive partner Shorouq Al-Hosawi, she kept Al-Nassr's goal intact across all 90 minutes.
She left her first mark in stunning fashion, beating Syrian goalkeeper Raneem Abu Latif twice. The opener came in the 29th minute, and she added a second, Al-Nassr's fifth, in the 76th. Both goals followed the same script: sharp positioning inside the opponent's penalty area from a corner kick.

Standout defensive displays earned Al-Harthi a move to Neom Club, freshly promoted from the First Division League to the Premier League for the first time. She helped keep them up last season, 2025/2026, then made the switch this summer to champions Al-Nassr Club.
