Al-Ahly, Al-Ain, Al-Hilal: não se confunda com os times árabes no Mundial e entenda por que os nomes começam com ‘Al’

SPORTIVO
Article arrow_drop_down

O Al-Hilal, da Arábia Saudita, e o Al Ain, dos Emirados Árabes Unidos, entram em campo neste domingo contra o Salzburg, da Áustria, e o Manchester City, da Inglaterra, respectivamente, pelo Mundial de Clubes da Fifa. Além deles, o Al Ahly, do Egito, joga amanhã contra o Porto. O que estes três times tem em comum? O prefixo “Al” no nome.

Eles carregam o prefixo “al” em seus nomes, algo comum entre os clubes árabes de futebol. A semelhança entre eles nada mais é do que um artigo invariável, correspondente aos artigos definidos “o”, “a”, “os” e “as” na língua portuguesa (“the”, no inglês e “el”, no espanhol, por exemplo).

Al Ahly significa “o Nacional”, Al Hilal, “a Lua Crescente” e Al Ain, “o Olho”.

— É uma maneira de destacar, de engrandecer. Al Ahly é “o” time nacional, não qualquer time nacional. O mesmo ocorre para o Al Hilal, “a” Lua Crescente — explica Saleh Hassan, tradutor da Câmara de Comércio Árabe-Brasileira. — O “al” também é usado em nomes próprios, sempre antes do sobrenome. O motivo é o mesmo, para engrandecer o nome da família. A tradição é mais comum na Arábia Saudita, e o prefixo não é usado antes do primeiro nome.

Uma curiosidade é que existem diversas palavras de origem árabe no português falado atualmente. Os árabes estiveram presentes na Península Ibérica durante um período de formação da língua portuguesa durante aproximadamente oito séculos. Elas também carregam o “al”, como álcool, alface, alcachofra, alfafa, almirante, almofada, alfaiate, algarismo, álgebra, algazarra, almôndega, alquimia, entre outras.

O Al Ahly, do grupo do Palmeiras, é um time de futebol da cidade do Cairo, no Egito. É quem possui mais títulos no país: são 45 do Campeonato do Egito e 39 da Copa do Egito. Além disso, o clube é o maior campeão do futebol africano, com 12 títulos continentais.

Já o saudita Al Hilal é uma das equipes mais ricas da Ásia, o maior campeão nacional com 19 conquistas (e já foi comandado por Jorge Jesus, ex-Flamengo). O time tem a maior torcida do país, já venceu a Champions League Asiática quatro vezes e foi finalista do Mundial de 2022, quando venceu o Flamengo na semifinal.

O Al Ain, por sua vez, é de longe o clube de maior sucesso nos Emirados Árabes Unidos, com 14 títulos nacionais. Eles também são bicampeões da Liga dos Campeões da AFC — a última conquista foi em 2023/24, que garantiu a vaga no Mundial de Clube ao clube. A equipe já foi finalista do Mundial, em 2018, quando venceu Team Wellington, Esperance de Tunis e River Plate, antes de ser derrotado pelo Real Madrid.

Al Hilal e Salzburg se enfrentam neste domingo, às 19h (horário de Brasília), pela segunda rodada do Mundial de Clubes. Mais tarde, às 22h (de Brasília), Al Ain e Manchester City duelam pelo Grupo G. Amanhã, às 22h (de Brasília), o Al Ahly joga contra o Porto.

Kevin Durant trade: Rockets land Suns star in NBA blockbuster as Jalen Green headlines return, per report

The Houston Rockets are trading for Kevin Durant, according to ESPN. The deal will send Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in this week's draft and five second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns in a blockbuster deal, per the report. Durant, entering his 18th NBA season, will now join his fifth NBA team after stints with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets and the Suns.The Suns acquired Durant at the 2023 trade deadline with much fanfare. Mat Ishbia had just taken over the team and he wanted to make a splash, so he traded control of five first-round picks along with Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and Jae Crowder to get the 2014 MVP. However, the move was not enough to give Ishbia the contender he craved. The Suns lost in the second round to the Denver Nuggets […]

2025 NBA Draft prospects that Adam Finkelstein likes more than other experts do

The CBS Sports final consensus Big Board is set, taking into consideration the perspective of analysts from CBS Sports and 247Sports. While the list provides a fitting view of the market with less than one week before the NBA Draft, there are a handful of prospects that I am personally higher on, and also some that might end up going higher than expected next Wednesday. Cedric Coward's path to the NBA Draft shouldn't be possible Matt Norlander Prospects who could be picked higher than they are ranked  Jeremiah Fears, Oklahoma CBS Sports Big Board: No. 11  Fears is a polarizing prospect.
