Al-Hilal and Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly opens up about his remarkable football journey from Metz and Genk to becoming one of Serie A’s top defenders with Napoli, playing for Chelsea in the Premier League, and finding a new home in Saudi Arabia with Al Hilal.

Kouli reflects on how Maurizio Sarri transformed his game, facing racism in European football, the mentality and leadership required at the highest level, and what it really takes to become an elite defender.

He also takes us inside Al Hilal’s historic Club World Cup run, including the unforgettable victory over Manchester City, while sharing his perspective on the growth of the Saudi Pro League, the future of Saudi football, and the next generation of Saudi players.
