Alia Al-Rasheed, director of the women's football department, commented on the debut of the inaugural edition of the Cup and said that the creation of the Saudi Federation Women's Cup is a significant milestone in the growth of women's football.

One of the strategic objectives that helps to improve the technical abilities of female players and raise competition between teams is to play more games during the season, according to Al-Rasheed. The success of the First Division League and the Saudi Women's League in their inaugural seasons, she added, helped advance and speed up the remaining steps towards the development of women's football.
