Sudanese giants Al Hilal Omdurman have been crowned champions of the Rwanda Premier League after producing a remarkable title-winning campaign far away from home due to the ongoing conflict in Sudan.
Forced to relocate as there is no league in Sudan which continues to affect football activities in their homeland due to conflict, Al Hilal showed resilience and consistency throughout the season, turning adversity into one of the most extraordinary success stories in African club football. The club amassed 70 points from 30 matches, scoring an impressive 69 goals while conceding just 20.
Their dominance throughout the campaign underlined the quality and mentality within the squad, as they adapted to unfamiliar surroundings while continuing to compete at the highest level. The title triumph also adds another historic milestone to the club’s growing continental legacy.
With the latest success, Al Hilal Omdurman become the first club in history to win top-flight league titles in Sudan, Mauritania and Rwanda. Displaced from home but still dominant on the pitch, the Sudanese powerhouse continue to write one of the most unique and inspiring chapters in African football history.
