Hamdallah Out of Al-Hilal After Shortest Loan Spell
Saudi club Al-Hilal have reportedly reached an agreement to end Moroccan striker Abderrazak Hamdallah's loan deal just days after announcing his signing. According to Saudi outlet Arriyadiyah, the club and Hamdallah mutually agreed to part ways less than a week into the six-month deal. The striker had joined from Al-Shabab ahead of Al-Hilal's Club World Cup quarter-final clash against Brazil's Fluminense. Hamdallah, 34, came on as a substitute in that match and played only 25 minutes, which ended in a 2-1 defeat for Al-Hilal. The short-term contract included a clause allowing either party to end the agreement at any time. Reports suggest he will now join Al Shabab's pre-season training camp ahead of the new Saudi Pro League season. Al Hilal are said to have appreciated Hamdallah's willingness to join at short notice and are keen to end the contract amicably to avoid any financial disputes. Manager Simone Inzaghi reportedly did not see the Moroccan forward as part of his long-term plans and opted to exclude him from preparations for the Saudi Super Cup in August.

Hamdallah to Join Bounou in Al Hilal on Emergency Loan for FIFA Club World Cup
Rabat — Saudi club Al Shabab has agreed to loan Moroccan international Abderrazak Hamdallah to Al Hilal during the special transfer window for teams participating in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, currently taking place in the US. The club confirmed that the 34-year-old striker will join the team's training sessions in the coming hours. The team prepares to face Brazilian side Fluminense in the tournament's quarterfinal match scheduled for Friday. The Saudi Football Federation announced it moved up the summer registration period to July 3 instead of the original July 20 date. The window will now run until September 10. This change responds to Al Hilal's official request to advance the registration period, with the club aiming to register Hamdallah and another defender from the Saudi Pro League for their Club World Cup squad. FIFA's Club World Cup regulations, specifically Article 24, Paragraph 3, allow teams to make up to six changes to their registered squads. These changes can include players whose contracts have expired or players the clubs want to remove from their lists. Al Hilal previously submitted an initial squad of 35 players to the tournament's organizing committee, but the timing of this change aligns with FIFA's deadline, which ends on July 3. Al-Hilal faces a string of injuries among key players, with Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic remaining out with a leg muscle injury. Meanwhile, Captain Salem Al Dawsari suffered a hamstring injury after the match against Mexican side Pachuca. Defender Hassan Tambakti picked up a knee contusion, while left-back Yasser Al Shahrani is not match-ready. The loan signing gives Al Hilal additional attacking options as they pursue their Club World Cup campaign. Hamdallah brings extensive experience from his time in Saudi football and international competitions with Morocco's national team, joining his compatriot Yassine Bounou, who delivered an impressive performance during Al Hilal's game against Manchester City. The Saudi club knocked out Man City of the Club World Cup in a 4-3 extra-time win in Orlando, Florida. Tags: Al HilalFIFA Culb World CupFootball

Saudi Gazette report ORLANDO — Al Hilal have officially signed Moroccan striker Abderrazak Hamdallah on a short-term loan from Al Shabab to bolster their attacking options during the ongoing 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The move comes as the Riyadh giants deal with key absences up front, most notably the injury to Serbian forward Aleksandar Mitrović, who has yet to feature in the tournament, and team captain Salem Al-Dawsari, who was ruled out for the remainder of the competition after sustaining a hamstring injury in the group stage. Hamdallah arrived at Al Hilal's training camp in Orlando on Wednesday and is expected to take part in the team's afternoon session later today, as preparations continue for their quarter-final clash following a stunning 4-3 win over Manchester City in the Round of 16. The 33-year-old forward brings with him extensive Saudi Pro League experience, having first arrived in the Kingdom with Al Nassr in 2018, later moving to Al Ittihad, and most recently featuring for Al Shabab. He is widely regarded as one of the most prolific scorers in the league's history, currently sitting second in the all-time goal chart behind Syrian striker Omar Al addition gives Italian coach Simone Inzaghi a valuable attacking asset as Hilal look to continue their historic Club World Cup campaign.

Hamdallah Offers Cash Rewards to Fire Up Safi Ahead of Throne Cup Final
Saudi Pro League target man Abderrazak Hamdallah has sent a message to his former club Olympique Safi ahead of tonight's Throne Cup final against RS Berkane, promising a personal cash bonus to every player should they lift the trophy. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the Al-Shabab striker urged players, staff and fans alike to believe in their moment of glory. 'Tomorrow is not an ordinary day,' he wrote. 'It's a date with history, with the moment we've all dreamt of. You're here because of hard work, spirit and love for this badge. One last step – make it count.' Hamdallah also called on Safi's Ultras, the 'Ultra Shark', to set the stadium alight. 'Let your voices reach the sky,' he said. 'Show the world who we are.' The striker ended his post with a promise of a 'special financial reward' to any player who gives everything for the shirt. 'Sweat is rewarded. Spirit is honoured. Victory deserves everything.' Tonight's final, held at the newly revamped Fez Sports Complex at 7 p.m. Moroccan time (GMT+1), features a hungry Safi side chasing their first-ever Throne Cup title against an in-form RS Berkane outfit eyeing a historic treble. Berkane have already lifted the league title and the CAF Confederation Cup this season. Now, they're hoping to add domestic silverware to cap off a brilliant season. Safi, meanwhile, are chasing redemption. They lost their only previous final back in 2016 and now have a shot at rewriting the club's history tonight.
