Football fans around the world are eagerly awaiting a high-stakes clash between Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal and Brazilian side Fluminense in the quarterfinals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The match is set to take place on Friday, July 4, at the Camping World Stadium in the United States, as part of the tournament's first edition under its expanded format, which now features 32 clubs from across the globe.
A Heavyweight Encounter Between Al Hilal and Fluminense
The game kicks off at 7:00 PM GMT, and all eyes will be on Al Hilal as they aim to continue their historic run and carve out a new chapter in their international journey. The Saudi side stands as the only Arab club remaining in the knockout rounds, after the eliminations of Al Ahly (Egypt), Wydad Casablanca (Morocco), Espérance de Tunis, and Al Ain (UAE), giving extra weight to this clash on the world stage.
Led by Italian manager Simone Inzaghi, Al Hilal come into the match in high spirits following a thrilling 4-3 victory over Manchester City in a dramatic extra-time encounter. Goals from Marcos Leonardo, Malcom, and Kalidou Koulibaly propelled the team into the quarterfinals in a night to remember.
Al Hilal's Journey to the Quarterfinals
Al Hilal advanced from Group H in second place with 5 points, behind group winners Real Madrid. They opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against the Spanish giants, followed by a goalless draw with Austria’s Salzburg, and sealed qualification with a 2-0 win over Mexico’s Pachuca. With that, they became the first Asian and Arab club to progress past the group stage in the tournament’s expanded format.
Despite missing key players like Salem Al-Dawsari, Hassan Tambakti, and Aleksandar Mitrović due to injuries, coach Inzaghi successfully reshaped the team and restored balance — something that was clearly reflected in their heroic performance against City.
Fluminense Riding High After Beating Inter Milan
Fluminense, on the other hand, come into this game full of confidence after knocking out Inter Milan with a 2-0 win. Germán Cano opened the scoring in the 3rd minute, and Hercules Parreira added a second deep into stoppage time. The Brazilian team controlled the game from start to finish, showcasing their attacking strength and tactical discipline.
What Awaits in the Semifinal?
