Reporter Lee Jae-sang = Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal players who reached the final of the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup will receive a large reward. With meaningful results, the Saudi prince opened his wallet, and defender Jang Hyeon-soo (32), who plays for Al-Hilal, also received a reward of more than 500 million won.
Reuters reported on the 9th that billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia plans to award a bonus of 1 million riyal (approximately 266,500 dollars, approximately 337 million won) to Al-Hilal players who reached the Club World Cup finals.
This is not the end. The Saudi government decided to give 500,000 riyal (about 172 million won) to each player separately from Prince Alwaleed.
As a result, Al-Hilal players, including Jang Hyun-soo, received a lump sum of more than 500 million won.
Saudi Sports Minister Abdulaziz Al-Faisal gave meaning to the event, saying, “This victory has visibly confirmed the huge growth of Saudi sports.”
Al-Hilal, the representative of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), won 3-2 in a match against Flamengo (Brazil) in the semifinals of the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup held in Rabat, Morocco the day before (8th).
Al-Hilal gained a numerical advantage in the first half with Gersong’s cumulative yellow card sent off during extra time, and scored two goals from penalty kicks to win the game.
This is the first time Al-Hilal has reached the final of the FIFA Club World Cup, having reached the semi-finals in 2019 and 2021. It is the third time that an AFC club has reached the final of the competition, after Kashima Antlers (Japan) in the 2016 competition and Al Ain (United Arab Emirates) in 2018. A winning team has yet to be produced. 메이저놀이터
Al-Hilal will compete for the title with Real Madrid (Spain), who defeated al-Ahli (Egypt) 4-1.
If Al-Hilal writes a new history by beating even Real Madrid, a huge bonus will be paid additionally.
Prince Alwaleed promised to pay Al-Hilal an additional bonus equal to the 1 million riyal paid this time if he were crowned Club World Cup champion.
The final match between Al-Hilal and Real Madrid will take place on the 12th at 4:00 am at the Prince Moulay Abdallah Stadium in Rabat, Morocco.
On the other hand, defender Jang Hyeon-soo played for FC Tokyo through FC Tokyo (Japan) and Guangzhou Puri (China), and has been active at Al-Hilal since 2019.
Jang Hyun-soo, who won a gold medal at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games and became a subject of special military service, was permanently disqualified from the national team by manipulating documents proving the contents of volunteer activities. From 2013 to 2018 he played in 58 A matches.
