The Egyptian side Al Ahly are all set to battle the Major League Soccer side Inter Miami in the group stage fixture of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 edition. The interesting contest between the two teams will take place at the Hard Rock Stadium.
Al Ahly are coming in after winning the Egyptian Premier League title. As they take on Inter Miami in their first battle of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 edition, Al Ahly will be looking to give a tough battle to the MLS side. It is not going to be an easy battle for them, but they will surely put up a fight.
Inter Miami and Al Ahly are a part of Group A in the mega competition, and FC Porto and Palmeiras are also in the group.
Inter Miami have not been able to perform up to the standards, as they have lacked consistency since the start of their 2025 season. Lionel Messi and company now have a chance here to step up their game and get back to their form. The Herons will be looking to start the Club World Cup with a win here, but they might face a tough challenge.
Lionel Messi is back to battle for another title on the world stage. This time around, he is going to lead Inter Miami. Messi is an important part of the squad and, most importantly, in the final third.
He can score goals and set up his fellow teammates with his playmaking skills. It will be interesting to see what he brings to the table this time around.
