Mouloudia Algiers to Face Al Hilal in Pre-Season Friendly

The friendly match between Mouloudia Algiers and Saudi club Al Hilal has been officially confirmed as part of the preparatory camp both teams will hold in Austria ahead of the 2026-2027 season.

Al Hilal announced its summer friendly schedule yesterday, which includes a match against Mouloudia Algiers on Wednesday, July 29, confirming the encounter that was previously listed among potential opponents for the Algerian team.

This match is one of the key preparatory stages for "The Dean," as they will face one of the strongest clubs in the region in an important technical test aimed at assessing the team's readiness before the new season, where they aim to defend their Algerian league title for the fourth consecutive year after winning the championship in the past three years.

The significance of this match is heightened by the technical quality of Al Hilal, which boasts a roster of stars led by French striker Karim Benzema, providing Mouloudia's coaching staff with a genuine opportunity to evaluate the team's level against a top-tier opponent.

Mouloudia Algiers' management stated in a press release yesterday that they are working on arranging five friendly matches, either during the camp in Austria or after returning to Algeria, noting that the initial list of opponents included eight clubs before the match against Al Hilal was officially confirmed.
