While the expanded format has sparked debate, especially regarding player fatigue from a congested fixture list, Al Hilal supporters remain optimistic. They are thrilled to see their team face the world’s best clubs.
Al Hilal’s Strong Form in 2024
Al Hilal’s 2024 season has been impressive. They have secured nine victories in the Saudi Pro League, maintaining a strong position at the top. Additionally, they have won all four of their AFC Champions League Elite matches so far. Key players like Odion Ighalo and João Cancelo, signed from Manchester City, have enhanced the squad’s depth. These additions strengthen Al Hilal’s bid for both domestic and international glory.
Al Hilal’s ambitions remain high as they prepare to lead Asia at the expanded 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Their victory in the 2021 AFC Champions League secured their place in the competition. With Real Madrid and Manchester City among the favorites, Al Hilal fans are eager to see their team face these footballing giants.
Key Transfers and Squad Enhancements
The summer transfer window brought key additions to the squad, including Marcos Leonardo from Benfica. These strategic signings aim to provide Al Hilal with the firepower needed for success on both the domestic and international fronts.
Despite their recent successes, player fatigue remains a concern. With a packed fixture list, including the 2025 Club World Cup and the 2026 World Cup, managing player workloads will be crucial. Al Hilal must balance their squad’s fitness and performance to compete at the highest level.
Al Hilal fans eagerly await their team’s performance in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. They hope their team can prove itself among the world’s footballing elite.
