The Red Devils will host UAE side Al-Ain in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup at Cairo Stadium, with the winner advancing to face the victor of the game between CF Pachuca and the South American champions in the tournament’s semifinals in Doha.

The winner of the semifinals will face Spanish giants Real Madrid in the final in the same city.

“We respect all our opponents, and Al-Ain are a very good team,” El-Shennawy told the pre-match news conference on Monday.

“We are targeting a match against Real Madrid in the final as we aim to create new history for the club.”

Ahly lost 4-1 to Real Madrid in the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup semifinals in Rabat where they ended third.
