The Sudanese giants were crowned champions following an impressive campaign played outside their home country due to the ongoing conflict in Sudan. Al Hilal dominated the league throughout the season, finishing with 70 points from 30 matches while scoring 69 goals and conceding only 20.

The triumph also marked a historic achievement for the club, as Al Hilal became the first team in African football history to win top-flight league titles in three different countries — Sudan, Mauritania, and Rwanda.

Despite being forced to play away from home, the club maintained remarkable consistency throughout the season, further strengthening its reputation as one of Africa’s most resilient and successful football institutions.

Adetunji, who previously made his mark in the NPFL before moving abroad, contributed to the memorable title-winning campaign, which has now become one of the most unique success stories in African club football history.
