The Professional Clubs Association has given preliminary approval to a proposal granting Al Ahly an exception that allows the club to register an unlimited number of foreign players during its participation in the upcoming Club World Cup, scheduled for next June.

This decision represents a ray of hope for several foreign stars whose futures with the team in the tournament were uncertain. The most notable among them are the Tunisian Ali Maâloul, the Malian Aliou Dieng, and the Moroccan Yahia Attiyat Allah, as registration restrictions had threatened their chances of participating.

Ali Maâloul: A Potential Honorable Farewell
The uncertainty surrounding Maâloul’s fate in the tournament may come to an end, as this exception gives him a golden opportunity to conclude his career with Al Ahly at a global event before his contract expires.

Aliou Dieng: A Chance to Prove Himself
The Malian Dieng, who has recently been out of the starting lineup, is regaining hopes of participation and shining again after nearly being excluded from the squad.

Yahia Attiyat Allah: A Start That Could Make a Difference
The Moroccan newcomer Yahia Attiyat Allah sees this decision as a chance to prove his abilities in his first major test wearing Al Ahly’s jersey, and possibly secure his continued presence at the club through a contract extension clause if he performs well.
