Top Player - Inter Miami
Lionel Messi, the team's emblem and star player, in addition to being the most decisive player since his arrival to the “Herons”, will seek to be just as important in this first edition of the Club World Cup. The 37-year-old forward has ten goals and five assists in 13 games played in MLS with 12 starts. He also scored five goals in seven CONCACAF Champions Cup matches. On the other hand, in the last two matches with Inter, he scored four goals and provided three assists in a 5-1 win over Columbus Crew and a 4-2 win over Montreal.
Top Player - Al Ahly
Emma Ashour, the team's leading scorer and the team's most influential player in the Egyptian Premier League, will be looking to be just as important in this first edition of the Club World Cup. The 27-year-old midfielder has 13 goals and seven assists in 23 games played, of which he started all of them. In addition, he participated in some of the team's goals in the last seven official matches with four goals and four assists.
History will begin to be written in Miami
These two teams from different continents have never met on any occasion, either in official matches or in friendly matches in preparation for regulated competitions. For this reason, this Club World Cup encounter will be the kick-off in the history of Al Ahly and Inter Miami.
The present of Inter Miami
On the other hand, the “Herons” are not doing so well at the local level and arrive as hosts with an important irregularity streak at the beginning of 2025 with Javier Mascherano at the head of the project. Although they have accumulated two consecutive victories, in this half of the season they have already been out of the CONCACAF Champions League leaving a pale image and are sixth in the overall MLS table and third in the Eastern Conference. Of their last ten games, they have won three, drawn two and lost the remaining five.
Al Ahly's present
The “Red Devils” are coming off a draw and subsequent defeat on penalties against Pachuca in the friendly in preparation for the opening match of the Club World Cup. However, prior to this unofficial match, they were on a run of six consecutive victories in the Egyptian Premier League. On the other hand, they were previously eliminated in the semifinals of the CAF Champions League by Sundowns' away goal.
The stadium for the match
The match for Matchday 1 of the group stage of the Club World Cup between Al Ahly vs Inter Miami will take place at the Hard Rock Stadium, a multi-sport stadium located in the US suburb of Miami Gardens, north of Miami (Florida). It was originally named Joe Robbie Stadium, in honor of the first owner of the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League, and was renamed Dolphins Stadium and Dolphin Stadium in the late 2000s.
