Huge hologram of Neymar’s head lights up sky before ‘insane' Al-Hilal unveiling – but injury may delay debut for a MONTH | The Sun

NEYMAR was treated to an extravagant welcome at his Al-Hilal unveiling – which included a huge hologram of his face.

The superstar confirmed his switch to the Saudi Arabian giants last week.

Neymar, 31, was announced to a 60,000-capacity crowd at the King Fahd International Stadium as Al-Hilal drew 1-1 with Al-Feiha.

Supporters lit up the dark stadium with their flashlights as a huge hologram of Neymar's Fifa card lit up the night sky.

That was then replaced by an incredible drone show depicting Neymar's face, which was visible from outside the stadium.

His iconic number 10 was shown on the pitch as Neymar made his way out to the centre circle, waving at fans as he soaked up their adoration.

Neymar looked excited as he walked out and began high-fiving mascots as the crowd cheered.

A massive pyrotechnic display followed which left the forward looking a little bewildered, with fireworks and flames creating an incredible atmosphere.

Another hologram welcomed Neymar to the club with the words: "Neymar is blue."

Neymar's acquisition is a big event for the whole of Riyadh as banners have been unveiled around the city.
