The creation of Gianni Infantino will take place on Saturday night in Florida, since at Ahly and Inter Miami open the opening and expanded version of the Club World Cup.
The president of FIFA, Infantino, will accommodate in his padded seat at the Hard Rock Stadium and will see the 12 -time African champions face next to the MLS in the competition to allow Lionel Messi to participate.
Miami won the coat of followers of last season for the team with the best record of the regular season before making a quick departure from the playoffs. However, that gave Infantino everything he needed to manipulate a route for Messi.
From the perspective of a fan, it is good news, who does not want to see the best player of all time before hanging his boots? – But recently to increase the credibility of a tournament that already seems too given the full global calendar.
These two teams have been placed in group A next to Palmeiras and Porto and, realistically, they will need a victory here to have the opportunity to pass.
Miami has the experience, while Ahly has youth exuberance.
Messi is one of the four former players in Barcelona who have done everything at the highest level, along with Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suárez.
Busquets admitted last month that it will be a difficult task for Javier Mascherano’s men to compete.
He told Dazn: “It is clear that we are not at the level to compete in the Club World Cup, but we will try to compete in our group. Go to the game by game, fight and, hopefully, advance to the next round, although it will be difficult.”
It was not a brilliant support for an event that none of the quartets thought they would be playing when they agreed to reduce their races under the Sun of Miami.
Al-Ahy qualified by virtue of winning the CAF Champions League in 2020-21, 2022-23 and 2023-24 and will arrive in the United States with confidence in making a dip.
The midfielder Emam Ashour was a bullish humor ahead of the first game and is enjoying the opportunity to face Messi.
“Without a doubt, I am excited to face the best player in the world,” Ashour told FIFA.com. “I am sure that we are able to achieve something worthy of our name and the name of Al Ahly.”
