Egyptian defender Ramy Rabia, formerly of Al Ahly and recently signed by UAE side Al Ain, is set to make his official debut with his new club in a high-profile clash against Italian giants Juventus, as part of the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup hosted in the United States.

The much-anticipated match will take place early Thursday at 4:00 AM Mecca time, at Audi Field in Washington, D.C., marking the opening game for both teams in Group G of the tournament.
This match presents a tough challenge for Rabia, who is eager to prove his worth and readiness, especially after his move from Al Ahly following stalled contract renewal talks, and in light of the attractive offer he received from Al Ain. The player hopes this debut will mark a strong start to a successful season both individually and with the team.

Al Ain is competing in a challenging group that includes England’s Manchester City, Italy’s Juventus, and Morocco’s Wydad Casablanca — making it one of the tournament’s most competitive groups given the caliber and international experience of the teams involved.

Al Ain fans are expecting a standout performance from Rabia, known for his extensive experience in continental and domestic competitions with Al Ahly and his leadership in high-stakes matches.
