the Sudanese football club

Al-Mawj Al-Azraq (The Blue Wave) Nadi Al-Haraka Al-Wataniya (National Movement Club) Nadi Al-Shaab (People's Club)

Al Hilal Sports Club (), known as Al Hilal SC or simply Al Hilal, is a Sudanese professional football club based in Omdurman that competes in the Sudan Premier League. The club currently competes in the Rwanda Premier League, the top-flight of football in Rwanda, due to the ongoing Sudanese civil war.

Name and history

The name Hilāl is derived from the Arabic word for "crescent".ly

The club's motto, "Allah – Al-Watan – Al-Hilal," translates to "God – The Nation – Al-Hilal" in English.

Al-Hilal Stadium is nicknamed "The Blue Jewel". The stadium was officially inaugurated in January 2018 after significant renovations to the existing facility that were funded by the club.

Having played in the Mauritanian Ligue 1 for the 2024-25 season, and winning it in their only season, Al Hilal then temporarily joined the Rwanda Premier League for the 2025–26 season due to the Sudanese civil war.

Continental rivalries

Al Hilal has built fierce continental rivalries with powerhouse clubs like Al Ahly, TP Mazembe, ES Tunis. Matches against Al Ahly are notoriously heated, often marred by tension, controversy, and even clashes between Egyptian and Sudanese supporters. However, in recent times, Al Hilal and Al Ahly's management have taken steps toward reconciliation, working to mend tensions and foster better relations; a testament to the intense history and impact of their fierce rivalry. Meanwhile, battles with ES Tunis and TP Mazembe are defined by relentless intensity and high stakes, with a fiercely contested head-to-head record that amplifies the rivalry's fire.
