Al-Hilal have confirmed the signing of defender Tahani Al-Zahrani, announcing on their women's football team accounts on Instagram and X that she will stay at her new club until 2028.
Al-Zahrani ranks among the biggest names in Saudi women's football. She has dazzled since the inaugural Saudi Women's Premier League in 2022/2023, and before that she turned out for the "White Lion" team in the years before professionalism and an official league arrived.
Her journey began at Al-Shabab in that first official season. The summer of 2025 took her to Al-Ahli, where she finished runner-up in the fourth edition of the Saudi Women's Premier League in 2025/2026.
