After securing two of the most unexpected victories in the tournament, Fluminense and Al Hilal will face off this Friday in Orlando for a spot in the semifinals of the 2025 Club World Cup. Both teams arrive strong after eliminating top favorites, promising an exciting clash at the Camping World Stadium.

When and Where is the Match?

The match between the Brazilian and Saudi teams is scheduled for this Friday, July 4, at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. It will be the opening game of the quarterfinals and will decide who faces Palmeiras or Chelsea in the next round.

What Time Does the Match Start?

Kickoff is set for 3:00 p.m. ET (Eastern Time, USA), with Dutch referee Danny Makkelie officiating. Thousands of Saudi and Brazilian fans are expected to fill the stands after the strong impact both clubs made in their previous matches.

Al Hilal, coached by Simone Inzaghi, comes off an unforgettable 4-3 extra-time victory over Manchester City, where Marcos Leonardo, Malcom, and Kalidou Koulibaly shone. The Italian coach’s quick impact and the strong midfield presence of Rúben Neves and Milinkovic-Savic make the Saudi team a formidable opponent.

Meanwhile, Fluminense arrives confident after a 2-0 win over Inter Milan, thanks to goals from Germán Cano and Hércules. Without their suspended left-back René, the Brazilian side will rely on the leadership of veteran Thiago Silva, who aims to close his career by lifting another international trophy.

With two very different but equally effective styles, Fluminense and Al Hilal will face off in an unexpected yet thrilling quarterfinal match, where only one will keep dreaming of the title under the tournament’s new format.
