Messi and Inter Miami to open Club World Cup against Egyptian club Al Ahly

Associated Press  

MIAMI — Lionel Messi and Inter Miami now know their path for next year’s Club World Cup. The host team — invited by FIFA to compete despite criticism from many in the soccer world — will play the tournament’s first match on June 15 against Egyptian club Al Ahly, as part of a group that will also feature Palmeiras and Porto. Other opening matches include Paris Saint-Germain vs. Atletico Madrid and Brazilian club Botafogo playing at Major League Soccer’s Seattle Sounders in Group B; Monterrey against Inter Milan in Group E; and Real Madrid facing the Saudi club Al-Hilal — potentially a showdown pitting superstars Kylian Mbappé for Real Madrid and Neymar for Al-Hilal if the Brazilian great remains with that club. I am supportive of the decision that FIFA made and I’m excited to put Miami and Seattle in a global media deal and be shown around the world.” Mas said Inter Miami getting the privilege of playing the opening match of the tournament at home is “a testament to our community, the soccer culture that’s here.” “Who would have told us five years ago, with no club, that we’d be here today at a draw with the best teams in the world,” Mas said.
