Al Ahly vs Inter Miami Fifa Club World Cup Preview: Kick-off time, TV channel & squad news

The Fifa Club World Cup begins with a match between African giants Al Ahly and Lionel Messi's Inter Miami on Sunday at the Hard Rock Stadium.

This match marks the beginning of the tournament that will see 32 teams from six confederations fight for the Club World Cup glory in Florida, United States.

In Group A, which also has Porto and Palmeiras, Al Ahly carry Africa's hope. The continent is hopeful the Egyptian giants can compete against the best, given how successful they have been in the Caf Champions League and in their domestic competitions.

Al Ahly have finished third on four occasions this decade at the Club World Cup and are ambitious that they can better that record this time around.

Jose Riveiro is the new man in charge of the Egyptian heavyweights, and the Inter Miami match is the first competitive game for the former Orlando Pirates coach.

He oversaw a friendly game that ended in a 1-1 draw before his side lost 5-3 on penalties against Pachuca from Mexico.

Meanwhile, Inter Miami, formed seven years ago, peg their hope on the kind of experienced players they have in their ranks. Messi, an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner and a three-time Club World Cup champion with Barcelona, is their highest-profile star.

They also have Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, Messi's teammates at Barcelona.

    Inter Miami team news and squads

    Alba and Gonzalo Lujan were absent from Inter Miami's training earlier in the week due to unspecified muscle problems, and doubts remain over them for the opening game.

    Yannick Bright and David Ruiz, who are both suffering from hamstring injuries, and Drake Callender, who is carrying a groin issue, are not available for the Major Soccer League side.

    However, Javier Mascherano's side should have goalkeeper Oscar Ustari and defender Tomas Aviles available after they returned to training following recoveries from injuries.

    Inter Miami Possible XI: Ustari; Weigandt, Falcon, Lujan, Allen; Allende, Cremaschi, Busquets, Segovia; Messi, Suarez

    Head-to-head and recent form

    This game in Florida represents the first match between Al Ahly and Inter Miami.

    Going into the game, the Red Devils have been in impressive form, as they have won four of their last five games. They defeated Al Masry, Ceramica Cleopatra, National Bank, and Pharco in the Egyptian Premier League games and lost to Pachuca in their recent pre-Club World Cup friendly.

    Riveiro's side lost to the Mexican side on post-match penalties after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.

    On the other hand, Inter Miami have been inconsistent; they have two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five games.

    The victories came against Columbus Crew and CF Montreal, while the draws were registered against Philadelphia Union and San Jose Earthquakes, and they were beaten by Orlando City.
