Khaled Mortagy, Al Ahly’s Treasurer, revealed that there is a proposal to change the date and time of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup opening match between Al Ahly and Inter Miami.
The tournament draw, held earlier today, placed Al Ahly in Group A alongside USA's Inter Miami, Brazilian side Palmeiras, and Portugal’s Porto. As per the draw results, Al Ahly is scheduled to face Inter Miami in the opening match on Sunday, June 15, 2025.
Speaking on Al Ahly TV, Mortagy shared insights from his conversation with Mattias Grafström, FIFA's Deputy Secretary General, following the draw. “He told me that the Al Ahly vs. Inter Miami game is a very significant one and cannot be played at 12. They will consider moving the match to Saturday, June 14, instead of Sunday and scheduling it for 8:00 PM,” Mortagy said.
He clarified that FIFA officials still will discuss the matter and that no official decision has been made yet.
