The Riyadh based side have been sanctioned alongside three other teams from the division. The otter teams include Al Riyadh, Al Shabab and Damac.
According to @ariyadhiah, the reason for the sanction has been traced to the transfer of Aymeric Laporte to the Nasrawi from Manchester City.
Al Nassr sighed the Spaniard for a fee of €27m from Manchester City in the summer of 2023.

However, despite having moved on two years later to La Liga where he has since signed with Athletic Bilbao as a free agent, Al Nassr are still yet to complete his payment to the English side.
The outstanding amount is believed to be around €9 million, which was due on August 31. A deadline that the Saudi club failed to meet.
Since the suspension is procedural, the ban will be lifted immediately Al Nassr complies and pay the outstanding fee to Manchester City.
