Al Hilal SFC is Saudi Arabia’s most successful club and one of four Asian Football Confederation sides competing in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. The Blue Wave boast a record 19 league titles without ever being relegated since claiming the Saudi Pro League’s inaugural season championship (1976/77). The Saudi side has won 13 Crown Prince Cup titles, seven Saudi Federation Cup titles, 11 King Cup titles, five Super Cup wins and a Saudi Founder’s Cup at the domestic level. On the international stage, Al Hilal SFC has won eight Asian Football Confederation trophies, including four AFC Champions League titles (1991, 2000, 2019, 2021), two Asian Cup Winners’ Cup titles (1997, 2002) and two Asian Super Cup titles (1997, 2000).
