Representing the Saudi Pro League, the Riyadh-based club qualified for the expanded tournament by virtue of winning the AFC Champions League. This marks Al-Hilal&rsquo;s second appearance at the global competition, following a semi-final run in 2022.<\/p><p>Al-Hilal recently appointed former Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi as their new head coach. The 49-year-old Italian signed a two-year deal with the Saudi giants. Expectations will be high for the Saudi giants, especially after a high-profile squad overhaul in recent years. Although star forward Neymar is on loan at Brazilian club Santos, Al-Hilal still boasts a lineup filled with seasoned internationals and marquee players who have delivered consistently on the domestic stage.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is the final boarding call for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AlHilal?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#AlHilal<\/a> flight to the U.S&#127897;&#65039;&#128747; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IUho2S1iZY\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/IUho2S1iZY<\/a><\/p>&mdash; AlHilal Saudi Club (@Alhilal_EN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Alhilal_EN\/status\/1933459919061331987?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>June 13, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Drawn into Group H, Al-Hilal will face some of the stiffest competition in the group stage, including European heavyweights Real Madrid, Mexican side Pachuca, and Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg.

Real Madrid vs Al-Hilal<\/strong><\/h3><p>Al-Hilal&rsquo;s campaign begins with perhaps the toughest assignment of the group, a showdown with 14-time UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid. The Spanish giants enter the tournament with a strong record in global competitions and have set the benchmark for elite European football. Al-Hilal will hope their solid defensive structure and quick transitions can exploit any early-tournament rust in Madrid&rsquo;s setup under new coach Xabi Alonso. With thousands of Saudi fans expected in Miami, this match could deliver fireworks.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Salzburg vs Al-Hilal<\/h3><p>The second fixture sees Al-Hilal travel to the U.S. capital to face Austria&rsquo;s Red Bull Salzburg. Known for their high-energy pressing, Salzburg will test Al-Hilal&rsquo;s tactical adaptability. With the second spot in the group expected to be tightly contested, this fixture could be decisive for qualification. Expect strong midfield battles as both sides will push for control in the middle of the park.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Al-Hilal vs Pachuca<\/strong><\/h3><p>The group stage wraps up with a clash against CONCACAF representatives Pachuca. The Mexican club has a history of making deep runs in international tournaments and it has a technically sound squad. Al-Hilal will count on their experienced squad to deliver in Nashville under the lights. With pressure mounting on both teams at this stage of the tournament, Al Hilal will have to win this game to progress to the next round.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saudi giants Al-Hilal have recently appointed former Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi as their new head coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[4038],"tags":[6880,7416,6721],"class_list":["post-63806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-soccer","tag-2025-fifa-club-world-cup","tag-al-hilal-2","tag-fifa-club-world-cup"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
