Just hours before their crucial match against Al Ahly of Cairo, scheduled for Tuesday at 7 PM GMT at the Cheikha Ould Boïdiya Stadium in Nouakchott, Mauritania, the Sudanese club Al-Hilal has announced that entry will be free for their supporters on the occasion of this second leg of the 2024-2025 African Champions League quarter-finals.

Official club statement

In a statement published on its official Facebook page, the club confirmed that tickets will be distributed free of charge around the stadium.
The statement reads:

"Al-Hilal club informs all supporters wishing to support the team this Tuesday against Al Ahly, as part of the return leg of the African Champions League quarter-finals, that entry tickets will be available free of charge at the stadium gates, before kick-off, as usual."

Two key absences for Al-Hilal

On the Sudanese side, the team will have to do without two important players tonight: captain Mohamed Abdelrahman (31 years old) and Tunisian forward Taieb Ben Zitoun (27 years old), both injured.

The captain suffers from an ankle sprain requiring two weeks of rest. As for Taieb Ben Zitoun, he sustained a sprain with a tear of the lateral knee ligaments during the first leg in Cairo. He will be unavailable for an estimated period of three to four weeks.
