Saudi Gazette report

FLORIDA — Al Hilal arrived in Orlando, Florida on Saturday night as they gear up for a high-stakes showdown against Manchester City in the Round of 16 at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.

The squad departed from Nashville, Tennessee following a closed training session at Nashville SC’s facility.

Midfielder Musab Al Juwayr, who had missed the previous session due to knee discomfort, returned to full training before the team made their way to the airport.

Upon arrival, the Saudi side settled into their new base in Orlando ahead of Monday night’s encounter at Camping World Stadium.

Head coach Simone Inzaghi is scheduled to speak at a pre-match press conference on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. local time, followed by the team’s final training at the University of Central Florida at 8 p.m.

The Blues face a formidable Manchester City side that cruised through Group G with three straight wins beating Wydad Casablanca 2-0, thrashing Al Ain 6-0, and overpowering Juventus 5-2 in their final match.

With star goalkeeper Yassine Bounou and a solid backline, Hilal will look to pull off an upset and continue their strong Club World Cup campaign after finishing second in Group H behind Real Madrid.
