Al Ahly prepares for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the USA… El Shenawy likely to remain captain despite Trezeguet’s return


The countdown has begun for Egyptian club Al Ahly’s participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which will be held for the first time in its new format in the United States, from June 14 to July 13, 2025, with 32 teams from six continents taking part.


A tough opening match against Inter Miami


Al Ahly will play in the tournament’s opening match, facing Inter Miami, the host nation’s representative, on June 15, 2025, at the “Hard Rock Stadium” in a highly anticipated clash that football fans around the world are looking forward to.


Huge prize money in the new edition


FIFA has announced the prize money for the tournament, which totals $125 million, distributed among participating teams based on their performance as follows:


$2 million for each group stage win


$1 million for each group stage draw


$7.5 million for reaching the Round of 16


$13.125 million in the Quarter-finals


$21 million in the Semi-finals


$30 million for the runner-up


$40 million for the Club World Cup winner


Strong reinforcements for Al Ahly’s squad


Al Ahly will participate in the tournament with a squad full of top talents, including:


Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet, returning from his European journey


Hamdy Fathy, midfielder on loan from Qatari side Al-Wakrah


Mohamed El Shenawy, the team’s first-choice goalkeeper and current captain


Wissam Abu Ali, the Palestinian striker


Achraf Bencharki, the Moroccan winger


Who will wear the captain's armband? El Shenawy or Trezeguet?


Trezeguet’s return sparked fan speculation about who will captain Al Ahly at the 2025 Club World Cup. Despite Trezeguet’s long history with the Red Devils, the seniority principle will give the edge to goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy.


El Shenawy's first appearance for Al Ahly: May 6, 2008 vs ENPPI


Trezeguet’s first appearance for Al Ahly: July 22, 2012 vs Zamalek


As a result, Mohamed El Shenawy will retain the captain’s armband throughout Al Ahly’s campaign in the tournament, thanks to his seniority and leadership role within the team.
