Club World Cup Profile
Opening match: Against Pachuda (Mexico) December 13. Winner plays LDU Quito (Ecuador) December 17
How they got here
The Cairo club won the 2008 CAF Champions League winners, beating Cameroon's Coton Sport 4-2 on aggregate into lift the trophy for a record sixth time.
They were named in 2000 as Club of the Century by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and rightly so.
About The Club
Africa's most successful club having won the continent's foremost competition an unprecendented six times,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. They have also won the Egyptian league championship 33 times and cup 35 times,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
While rivals Zamalek are for the elites, Ahly are the people's club and reportedly have a fan base of 50 million that goes beyond the shores of Egypt. The Red Devils have often prided themselves on keeping their best players but this year legendary goalkeeper Essam Al Hadari and striker Emad Motoeb moved overseas.
Amir Abdelhamid has fitted well into Hadari's big shoes as shown by his displays against Coton Sport in this year's Champions League final while Ahly continue to shop for another striker to compliment the Angolan Flavio Amado,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. This will be their third appearance in the FIFA Club World Cup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
After they failed to make an impact in 2005, they returned to this stage the following year to beat Auckland City FC of New Zealand 2-0 in the quarter finals before they fell 2-1 to the Brazilians International of Porto Alegre in the semi finals. A 2-1 victory over America of Mexico earned them third place in the annual competition.
Players to watch
Mohamed Aboutrika - A classy attacking midfielder who this year is a genuine front runner for the CAF African Player of the Year after proving his worth at the top for the past three years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Will be remembered for scoring some great championship winners like his goal in this year's Nations Cup against Cameroon in Accra and his last-gasp winner against CS Sfaxien of Tunisia in the 2006 Champions League final,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Scored thrice in the 2006 Club World Cup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Mohamed Barakat - May have been hampered by injury of late but his quality is not in doubt. A creator and scorer of goals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Ahmed Hassan - National skipper and one of the most experienced players in the team. He netted two goals at the Club World Cup two years ago.
Chances versus Manchester United
If the games go to form,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Red Devils of Cairo will only clash with their English namesakes in the final of the Club World Cup.
Al Ahly have the quality to compete against the European champions but it is their mentality against European opposition that could work against them as most Egyptian teams are known to shrink against such teams and so fail to express themselves as a great attacking force.
Wael Gomaa and Shady Mohamed can cope with United's attack but Flavio, often played as a lone striker,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], will struggle to go past the defence of the English champions.
