Inter Miami kick off their 2025 FIFA Club World Cup campaign on Saturday night when they face Al Ahly in the tournament opener in Miami.
The Herons were controversially awarded their place in the competition, but will care little once the first whistle blows this weekend. The Herons, who will be playing in familiar surroundings during the group stage, will want to make a fast start. They face daunting opposition in 45-time Egyptian Premier League winners and record CAF Champions League victors Al Ahly.
However, with Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets aiming to roll back the years on the world stage, Inter Miami will fancy their chances of causing an upset or two. For manager Javier Mascherano—a former clubmate of the ex-Barcelona quartet—it will be an opportunity to prove himself in the dugout.
Here’s how Inter Miami could line up for their upcoming duel.
