Amid a sea of empty stadia in the this season, one club ranks last in the battle to fill its ground. While the division has attracted major attention for its ability to lure major stars over the past year, it's still seemingly not the biggest hit with the locals. Or at least not at certain clubs, regardless of the star talent gracing their team sheets on a weekly basis. It's not outside the norm for any given Saudi Pro League fixture . On average, teams this season have filled roughly 37% of their attendance, with league-leading Al-Hilal (81.3%) and 's Al-Nassr (78.4%) among the most effective. Sky Sports is bringing you 500 live

Based in the holy city of Mecca, the club have attracted on average just 2,500 fans per game this season despite their stadium holding a maximum of 38,000. That's equal to an average attendance of just 6.6%, which makes Al-Wehda the only club with single-digit percentage attendance this term. Mecca is estimated to have a population of a little less than 2.2million people, more than half of whom are believed to be foreigners - not that they're seemingly interested in taking in the local football scene. The Knights of Mecca may not be one of the major Saudi sides that was bought out by the Kingdom's Public Investment Fund (PIF) last year, but they've still accumulated their own crop of stars, including former and striker Odion Ighalo, who joined the club on a free last year after netting 42 times in 58 outings for Al-Hilal. Despite those figures, Nigerian ace Ighalo took a considerable pay cut from a reported £75,000 a week in Riyadh to earning around £17,500 per week in Mecca. The club's top scorer this season is easily Al-Wehda's biggest attraction, but other notable foreign imports include
Australian forward Craig Goodwin, Morocco defender Jawad El Yamiq and Costa Rica international Oscar Duarte. Poor attendances haven't helped Al-Wehda in the race for Saudi supremacy, with the club currently 12th in the Pro League table and only five points above the relegation zone. The club's hierarchy may wish to splurge more funds to aid their cause - but for whose entertainment is the question.
