MIAMI — Al Hilal fans made their presence felt across the streets of Miami, Florida, on Tuesday, just one day before the team’s highly anticipated FIFA Club World Cup 2025 opener against Spanish giants Real Madrid.

As part of the club’s fan engagement initiatives, Al Hilal Club Company organized a vibrant event titled “Blue Takes Over Miami Beach” on Lincoln Road, one of the city’s top shopping and tourist spots near South Beach.

Hundreds of Al Hilal supporters flooded the area, chanting the club’s iconic songs in full voice.

The event was also attended by the club’s CEO, Steve Calzada, who interacted with fans and spoke about the team’s preparations and ambitions for the tournament.

The fan turnout was so strong that a nearby sports store completely sold out of Al Hilal’s official Club World Cup kits. A sign was soon posted on the storefront reading: “Al Hilal shirts sold out.”

With the team set to face Real Madrid in their first match of the newly expanded tournament format, Al Hilal’s passionate fan base brought energy, color, and noise to the streets of Miami— turning the city’s iconic beachside into a sea of blue.
