Another sensation has been recorded at the Club World Cup currently being held in America, reports onefootball.com. The famous Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal defeated one of the main favorites, the English team Manchester City, in the 1/8 finals of the tournament and advanced to the quarterfinals. This result surprised not only football fans but also the entire sports community.
After the historic victory, the amount of bonus awarded to team members also became a widely discussed topic. According to Ahmad Al-Qarni, a journalist from the Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat, each player was awarded a cash bonus of 2 million Saudi riyals (approximately 533 thousand euros at today's rate). The technical staff were not left out either — a total of 26 players and 6 specialists received 64 million riyals (about 17 million euros) in total.
In honor of this victory, a special event was held in which club president Fahad bin Nofal met with the team members in Orlando, USA. The president’s sincere congratulations and motivating speech further boosted the team's morale.
It should be noted that Al-Hilal will face the strong Brazilian club Fluminense in the quarterfinals. This match will take place on July 5 at 06:00 (Uzbekistan time). The winning team will not only advance to the semifinals but will also receive a prize of 18.7 million euros from FIFA.
Such a great achievement and bonus for the Saudi club has undoubtedly become a source of pride and motivation not only for the players and coaches, but also for all fans. Today, not only Asia, but also European and American media are writing about Al-Hilal's historic run with great interest. News about this team, rapidly moving towards a new final, will certainly remain interesting for fans. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
