Federation takes action after the holders pulled out of this month’s Super Cup citing player fatigue
Al-Hilal will be banned from next year’s Saudi Super Cup if they qualify, after their recent withdrawal from this month’s four-team competition in Hong Kong.
The Saudi Arabia Football Federation’s (SAFF) disciplinary and ethics committee announced the decision on Tuesday.
It came after holders Al-Hilal pulled out of the Super Cup, scheduled to be played in Hong Kong from August 19 to 23, citing player fatigue following their Club World Cup campaign. They lost 2-1 to Fluminense in the quarter-finals on July 4.
