On Saturday evening, Saudi club Al Hilal announced the schedule for its training camp in Al Ain, UAE, as part of the first team's preparations to resume the season's competitions following the upcoming international break.

Italian coach Simone Inzaghi directed Al-Hilal players to take a seven-day break, taking advantage of the pause in local competitions due to the Saudi national team's participation in the 2025 Arab Cup held in Qatar.

The blue team is preparing to leave Riyadh heading to Al Ain on Sunday, December 7, where the training camp will begin. The camp includes intensive training sessions aimed at enhancing the players' readiness ahead of the resumption of official matches.

Al Hilal is scheduled to play a friendly match against the Bahraini team Al Muharraq on Saturday, December 13, during their training camp. This will serve as a technical test in which Inzaghi aims to try out some tactical options.

After the end of the camp, Al Hilal will return to the capital, Riyadh, to complete its final preparation program ahead of the league's resumption. They will face Al Taawoun away on December 19th in the tenth round of the Roshn Saudi League.

This announcement came just hours after Al Hilal's big 4-1 victory over Al Fateh in the quarterfinal match of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup, held at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Riyadh.
