Name and history

The name Hilāl is the Arabic word for crescent – a name chosen on a night when the crescent of the moon was visible in Omdurman. Also it is the first club in the world to be named (AL- HILAL). The motto for Al-Hilal is Allah – AlWatan – Al-Hilal. It is translated to English as "God – The Nation – Al-Hilal".

The team's home stadium, Al-Hilal Stadium, nicknamed "The Blue Jewel", opened in January 2018.[1]
