Al-Hilal will be looking to land a treble when they take on Al-Nassr in the final of The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup, also known as King Cup of Champions, King Cup or King's Cup, at the King Abdullah Sports City on Friday.
Having knocked out the Knights of Najd in the Super Cup semi-finals to eventually win the tournament and clinching the Saudi League with an unbeaten record, Jorge Jesus' Blue Waves have made it to the King Cup final after overcoming Al-Ittihad 2-1 in the semis.
Al-Nassr face the defending champions thanks to a 3-1 victory over Al-Khaleej as Cristiano Ronaldo aims to win his second major trophy with his side since winning the Arab Club Champions Cup last year by beating Al-Hilal thanks to an extra time winner by the Portuguese international.
