The Saudi Al-Hilal club is gearing up to participate in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which will take place on American soil with the participation of elite global clubs.

The draw placed them in a strong eighth group, alongside Spanish Real Madrid, Austrian Salzburg, and Mexican Pachuca, posing significant challenges for the representative of Saudi football.

Al-Hilal's matches will be held in three different cities, where they will face Real Madrid on June 18 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, which has a capacity of 65,000 spectators.

On June 21, the team will play their second match against Salzburg at Audi Field in Washington, with a fan capacity of 30,000.

Al-Hilal will conclude their first-round matches against Pachuca on June 24 at Goodison Park in Nashville, which accommodates 20,000 spectators.

It is expected that Al-Hilal's travels between these cities will impose a physical burden, as the distance from Miami to Washington is approximately 1,704 kilometers, taking about two and a half hours by plane.

The trip from Washington to Nashville reaches 873 kilometers and requires about two hours of flight, which places increasing physical pressure on the players.

This busy schedule of travel and matches may affect performance, necessitating the coaching staff to devise sound physical and mental plans to avoid fatigue.

Al-Hilal enters this tournament with hopes of representing Asian football in the best light, but they understand that the road to the title requires unprecedented focus and preparation.
