Gulf Today
|June 19, 2025
Khalid Eisa, Al Ain captain, has expressed his unwavering belief that his team will rise to the occasion when they stand toe-to-toe with some of the world's most celebrated footballing icons at the FIFA Club World Cup.
-
Al Ain will start their FIFA Club World Cup campaign against Italian giants Juventus on Wednesday.
The Emirati side are no strangers to the tournament, reaching the final in their second appearance before falling to European heavyweights Real Madrid in the 2018 edition.
Juventus, while having won the Intercontinental Cup in 1985 and 1996, are making their maiden FIFA Club World Cup appearance.
Eisa emphasized that participating in this prestigious international football competition goes far beyond just results. According to him, it is a national and historic moment.
"We are here today not just as participants, but as champions of the 2024 AFC Champions League. We represent our club, Al Ain, but also our country. This is not merely a tournament for us—it is an opportunity to carry a message and write a new chapter in the professional legacy of The Boss."
