Camping World Stadium will host the showdown between Al Hilal and Fluminense on Friday, July 4, at 10:00 p.m. Mecca and Cairo time. The encounter is highly anticipated as one of the marquee matchups of the quarterfinals.

Al Hilal reached this stage with a historic 4-3 victory over English giants Manchester City in the Round of 16, a thrilling contest that went to extra time after a dramatic goal-scoring battle.

“Al-Zaeem” (The Boss) hopes to continue its impressive run in the global tournament, having delivered high-level performances against elite opposition on the road to the final eight. This success has boosted confidence and reinforced the belief that they can defeat any team—just like Fluminense, who knocked out UEFA Champions League runners-up Inter Milan in the previous round.

This will be Al Hilal’s first-ever meeting with Fluminense and also marks the first clash between Al Hilal’s Italian coach Simone Inzaghi and his Brazilian counterpart Renato Gaúcho. It is also Fluminense’s first official encounter with any Saudi club.

Al Hilal will rely on the experience and high spirits of its stars, having proven their quality despite the disparity in star power when facing Manchester City. The club left a strong impression on global spectators after drawing with Spanish giants Real Madrid in the opening group stage match and now finds themselves on the cusp of a historic achievement.

If Al Hilal defeats Fluminense, they would become the first Arab and Asian team to reach the semifinals under the tournament’s new format. It would also mark the club’s fourth trip to the final four, having reached that stage three times in the older format—in 2019, 2021, and 2022.

The winner between Fluminense and Al Hilal will face the victor of the other quarterfinal between Brazil’s Palmeiras and England’s Chelsea.
