- Competition: FIFA Club World Cup
- Date: Sunday, 15th, June 2025
- Kickoff: 01:00 UK / 02:00 CEST
- Venue: Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Gardens, FL)
Hard Rock Stadium will set the stage for the new-format FIFA Club World Cup campaign as Inter Miami take on Egyptian powerhouses Al Ahly SC this Sunday.
Although it looked at one point like they might surrender the crown, Al Ahly produced a stunning late-season surge in domestic action to edge past Pyramids by two points and clinch their record-extending 45th Egyptian league title.
While the Egyptian heavyweights have successfully wrapped up both domestic and continental duties, Inter Miami are still deep in the grind of their MLS campaign, currently holding a strong third-place spot in the Eastern Conference with five points behind front-runners Philadelphia Union and a game in hand.
Al Ahly SC vs Inter Miami Betting Tips : INTER MIAMI TO WIN
Al Ahly may carry the underdog tag in Group A of this tournament, but the Egyptian heavyweights will be eager to test themselves and prove their mettle against elite global oppositions, although we anticipate they could come away empty-handed in their curtain-raiser against a fired-up MLS outfit. The Egyptian giants come into the competition full of confidence following a triumphant campaign on both the home and continental fronts, but making a deep run in the newly formatted FIFA Club World Cup will be a daunting challenge. Competing for the first time ever in this competition, Inter Miami arrive fueled by back-to-back dominant performances in MLS, having overpowered CF Montreal with a 4-2 victory and crushed Columbus Crew 5-1, which gives them the confidence to keep their sharp finishing alive as they pursue a strong start to the FIFA Club World Cup. Not only have they fired on all cylinders in front of goal recently by netting three or more in four of their last five matches, but Javier Mascherano’s squad will also enjoy massive backing from the home crowd as they kick off this tournament on familiar ground, so we’re confident that Lionel Messi and co. will deliver joy and a big celebration for the Florida fans.
Al Ahly SC team news
Despite being a defensive mainstay all season, Rami Rabia has decided to leave Al Ahly just before the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, joining Al Ain as a free agent.
Coach Jose Riveiro will be without right winger Reda Slim for the remainder of the tournament due to cartilage damage, sidelining him for at least another month and a half.

Inter Miami team news
In contrast, Inter Miami will kick off the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday missing at least six players, with Jordi Alba’s muscle injury being the most notable absence, and Noah Allen expected to fill in at left-back.
With David Ruiz ruled out due to a strain and Yannick Bright sidelined by a muscle issue, coach Javier Mascherano plans to deploy Benja Cremaschi alongside Sergio Busquets in midfield against Al Ahly SC.
