Al Ahly Club has officially announced the absence of its striker Taher Mohamed Taher from the team’s next two matches in the FIFA Club World Cup, after confirming his injury—a strain in the origin of the front thigh muscle—following medical examinations conducted after yesterday’s training session. This represents a heavy blow to the team ahead of the crucial matches in the tournament.

The technical meeting for Al Ahly’s match against Brazilian club Palmeiras is scheduled at 7:00 PM US time (2:00 AM Cairo time) at MetLife Stadium, which will host the game as part of the second round of Group A matches in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, held in the United States.

The meeting will be attended by Al Ahly’s administrative staff and several members of the team delegation, along with officials from Palmeiras, match referees and inspectors, as well as representatives from FIFA to ensure the smooth running of the match.
Al Ahly is preparing intensively to face the highly anticipated match against Palmeiras next Thursday, which will kick off at 12:00 PM US time (7:00 PM Cairo time) at MetLife Stadium in New York, amid an atmosphere of great anticipation from fans and media.

Al Ahly played its first group match against Inter Miami of the USA at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, which ended in a goalless draw. This result has increased the importance of the upcoming match to secure a victory and advance in the group standings.

Al Ahly is competing in Group A alongside Inter Miami (USA), Palmeiras (Brazil), and Porto (Portugal), in a highly competitive group where all teams aim to achieve the best results and qualify for the final stages of the FIFA Club World Cup.
