The long-awaited moment for Al-Hilal's participation in the 2025 Club World Cup is approaching, as they face Real Madrid in their first match in Group "H" in 37 days, alongside Red Bull Salzburg and Mexican club Patuchka.

After the dismissal of Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus following the defeat to Al-Ahly in the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, Mohammed Al-Shalhoub took over the leadership of the Al-Hilal team in preparation for this major tournament.

On the other hand, Real Madrid is going through a difficult period after losing in the "El Clasico" against Barcelona, which has put more pressure on coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has decided to leave to coach the Brazilian national team.

Meanwhile, Red Bull Salzburg is struggling this season, currently sitting in third place in the Austrian league, and has exited the cup competitions, led by German Thomas Letsch.

As for Mexican club Patuchka, they lost the league title after being eliminated from the championship playoff, and are led by Uruguayan Guillermo Almada, who has made new signings to strengthen the team.

All eyes are on these teams in the World Cup, as each team seeks to achieve a positive result on the global stage.
