Shabab Al-Ahli arrive in Riyadh to face Al-Hilal

Shabab Al-Ahli have arrived in Riyadh on Monday evening in preparation for their match against Al-Hilal on Tuesday, as part of the fourth round of the western phase of the AFC Champions League Elite 2026-2027.

The Kingdom Arena will host the anticipated match, which Al-Hilal enters with the goal of overcoming their recent setback and returning to winning ways, while their Emirati guests aim to maintain their impressive results in the tournament.

Al-Hilal suffered a defeat against Al-Shamal, losing three goals to one in the third round, thus ending their unbeaten record in the league stage since the new competition system was implemented for the 2024-2025 season.

Al-Hilal hope to show a different face during their match against Shabab Al-Ahli, addressing the mistakes that cost them the loss in the last match and regaining their balance in continental competitions.

On the other side, Shabab Al-Ahli enter the match with high spirits, having succeeded in winning all their previous matches, making them one of only two teams in the West with this perfect record.

The Emirati team aims to continue its winning streak and enhance its successful campaign, relying on its positive results, despite the challenging upcoming match against Al-Hilal at home and in front of its fans.
