Latest Developments in Al Hilal's Case with Renan Lodi

Ahmed Al-Sheikhi has revealed the latest developments in the case of Al Hilal and Brazilian player Renan Lodi, who recently terminated his contract with the club unilaterally.

Sheikhi explained that the Al Hilal and Lodi file is currently classified among the cases that have long awaited resolution before the International Dispute Resolution Chamber, amid difficulties facing FIFA.

These delays reflect the challenges FIFA faces in reaching a final decision that resolves the ongoing dispute between Al Hilal and the Brazilian player.

The legal representative confirmed that there are currently no moves towards an amicable settlement, stating that each party still believes their legal position is stronger and capable of resolving the case in their favor.

The case witnessed four rounds of hearings, while the volume of attached memos and documents exceeded hundreds of pages, before FIFA closed the case in late 2025.

Sports circles are eagerly awaiting FIFA's ruling on the ongoing dispute, as the matter remains unresolved officially for now, with each party holding firm to its legal stance.

Al Sheikh believes that Al Hilal's victory in the case will strengthen its record in external disputes, and maintain the club's distinguished position in such matters compared to other popular clubs.
