The Al Ahly SC vs. Inter Miami match on Sunday, June 15, 2025 (morning in India) will officially open the 2025 Club World Cup (CWC). The CWC will take place over the next month.
The United States is hosting this year’s Club World Cup. Inter Miami, the host club, was chosen to start the competition. Lionel Messi will definitely be the centre of attention when he plays for the team wearing the pink shirt.
Inter Miami and Al Ahly are in Group A alongside Palmeiras and FC Porto.
Inter Miami certainly have a tough opponent this time. Al Ahly has participated in the Club World Cup 10 times. The club has a long record thanks to its success in winning the CAF Champions League 12 times.
Last season, they also won the Egyptian Premier League. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in the CAF Champions League semifinals.
Similarly, Inter Miami failed in the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals. Currently, Lionel Messi et al are in third place in the MLS East Zone standings.
