Egyptian giants Al Ahly and Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami will lock horns in the opening match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup on Saturday evening. The much-anticipated and revamped tournament gets underway this weekend and all eyes will be on Lionel Messi and his band of former Barcelona allies for the curtain-raiser.

All eyes will undoubtedly be on eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, who won three Club World Cups during his legendary spell with Barcelona and now plays alongside fellow world champions and former Catalan stars Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba at Inter Miami.

Al Ahly Predicted Lineup vs. Inter Miami (4-2-3-1): El Shenawy; Hany, Ibrahim, El Aash, El Debes; Reda, Attia; Bencharki, Ashour, Trézéguet; Abou Ali.

The FIFA Club World Cup begins today when Inter Miami and Al Ahly play the opening game of the tournament at Hard Rock Stadium. The tournament will last until July 13, but for the group stages, the soccer stars will get used to the unique rules used for American sports.
