Jesus said in a press conference after Al Hilal’s 3-0 victory over Al Fayhaa on Friday in the seventh round of the Saudi League: “A year has passed since his injury (to the cruciate ligament). He has fully recovered and participated in group training… If things go normally, he will join the roster.” Al Ain match.”
Al Ain of the United Arab Emirates will host its counterpart Al Hilal the day after tomorrow, Monday, in the third round of the AFC Elite Champions League.
But legal advisor Ahmed Al-Amir, an expert in sports regulations, dealt a painful blow to Al-Hilal’s plans regarding Neymar, indicating that he could not participate with the “leader” in Asia.
The prince said through his account on the “X” platform: “In order for Neymar to be legally eligible to participate in the elite AFC Champions League, he must be registered on the list of his club’s first team.”
He added: “Given that the Professionalism Committee of the Saudi Federation has stipulated the registration of 8 foreign players without specifying a specific date of birth, as his club has actually registered 8 players in advance, which means that Neymar cannot participate in the elite AFC Champions League.”
The legal expert attributed this to the fact that the regulations of the Asian Championship require that the player be legally registered in his club’s list in order to be eligible to participate with his club in the Asian Championship competitions.
It is noteworthy that Neymar has been absent from the football field since October 2023, as he suffered a cruciate ligament tear during his participation in his country’s match, Brazil, against Uruguay, in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Neymar joined Al Hilal in the summer of last year from Paris Saint-Germain, and participated in only five matches with Al-Zaeem before his injury.
