Fifa Club World Cup Trophy Lands In Egypt

The FIFA Club World Cup trophy has continued its global tour ahead of the tournaments kickoff in June.

This week, the trophy arrived in Cairo, Egypt, where it was welcomed by the Al Ahly squad. The Egyptian club is set to play its opening match against Inter Miami in the competition.

Marcel Koller, the clubs head coach, said: It will basically be an away game for us, as most of America will probably be supporting Inter Miami and, yes, I'm looking forward to it. I think our players are too, and they will all give everything to try and get something out of this match.

During its five-month journey, the FIFA Club World Cup trophy will visit the home cities of all 32 competing clubs.

In Africa, the tour includes stops in Egypt, South Africa Mamelodi Sundowns, Tunisia Esperance Sportive de Tunis, and Morocco Wydad AC.
