Al-Hilal receives punishment and is excluded from the competition; understand

Al-Hilal, a traditional Saudi Arabia club, was banned from the Saudi Super Cup of the 2026/2027 season, even if a place for sports merit wins. The decision came from the disciplinary and ethical committee of the Saudi Football Association and was announced on Tuesday (5 August). The reason for the punishment was the withdrawal of the team to compete in the current edition of the competition.

Previously, the Riaade Club had confirmed its participation in the tournament, which will take place between 19 and 23 August in Hong Kong. However, after the completion of the Club World Cup, where Al-Hilal reached the quarterfinals, the Council said the physical exhaustion of the cast and chose to remove the team from the dispute. This attitude, according to the Saudi entity, has injured the disciplinary regulation of the competition, in particular article 59-3.

The punishment was not limited to the exclusion of the next edition. The club was also fined of 500,000 Saudi Rolos, equivalent to about R $ 733,000, and has lost the right to receive any amount for Supercop prizes this season. However, leaders have the opportunity to appeal to the decision.

As released by the Federation, the Asia-Was champion of Current Ahli of Current Ahli has appointed Al-Hilal in the 2025/2026 edition of the Saudi Super Cup. In addition to him, Al-Ettihad, Al-Nassr and Al-Qadsiah will also participate in the tournament, which will complete the relationship of the classified.

Despite the disciplinary arrest trip, Al-Hilal focused on the commitments of the season. The team holds a friendly preparatory to the debut in the Saudi championship, in addition to the Saudi King Cup, scheduled for the second half of September, when they will have to face al-Adwinning.

In a declaration, the discipline and the ethical committee justified the sanction: “Al-Hilal refused to participate in the Saudi Super Cup of the 2025/2026 season after the official calendar of the competition calendar. Consequently, the Committee decided that the club has violated the article (59-3) of the discipline and ethical regulation and fined the club to 500,000 ricchi Saudi (approximately $) to be paid of SAuff (about $) to be paid to $ 730,000) to be paid to Savi “.

Therefore, the punishment to H-Hilal represents a rigid response of the Saudi entity in the face of what he considered violation of the commitment. The club, although it can still look for legal resources, already deals with the immediate effect of the decision.
