Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal have officially announced the loan signing of 34-year-old forward Abderrazak Hamdallah from Riyadh neighbors Al Shabab, inserting him into their squad for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. A former Chinese Super League star with extensive Asian tournament experience, Hamdallah joins Hilal to bolster their attacking line ahead of the quarter-final showdown against Fluminense.
To expedite Hamdallah’s registration, the Saudi Football Association has advanced the opening of the summer transfer window, which will officially launch on July 3. This move ensures the Moroccan striker completes all formalities before the Club World Cup squad deadline. The quarter-finals commence this weekend, with Al Hilal set to face Fluminense; the winner will progress to meet either Palmeiras or Chelsea in the semi-finals.
