Al-Hilal fan Saleh Al-Jaber, coming from Al-Ahsa Governorate in eastern Saudi Arabia, has arrived at Al-Hilal's training camp in Austria after a long overland journey in his four-wheel-drive pickup truck, covering about 5,000 kilometers across six countries, as he revealed in an interview with Al-Hilal's media channels.

Al-Jaber's journey began in Al-Ahsa, passing through Kuwait, Iraq, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Romania, before crossing into Hungary and then Austria, arriving in the town of Stegersbach in the state of Burgenland, where Al-Hilal is holding its pre-season training camp.

The camp, which started in mid-July, will run until August 4. Al-Hilal was the first club in the Saudi Roshn Professional League to announce that it would hold its overseas camp in Austria.

Al-Jaber explained that he makes a point of visiting Al-Hilal's overseas camps every few years, emphasizing that his love for the team has driven him to repeat this experience several times, noting that he has been a fan of Al-Hilal since he was five years old.

Al-Jaber mentioned that he has visited the team's camps in Europe about five times over the past 15 years, recalling that his first visit was during the friendly match between Al-Hilal and Manchester City in 2012, which ended with Al-Hilal winning 1-0 thanks to a goal by Nawaf Al-Abed.

Al-Jaber affirmed that his strong connection to Al-Hilal, along with his passion for travel and adventure, motivates him to continue attending the team's overseas camps and meeting the players up close whenever the opportunity arises.
