All eyes will be on Al Ahly’s Nasr City branch as it hosts the inaugural International U-16 Tournament from 28 to 30 November 2025, featuring youth teams from top clubs around the world.

Al Ahly coach Jess Thorup praised the warm reception in Morocco and said his side are fully prepared to face AS FAR after holding their first training session on what he described as “an excellent, well-prepared pitch.”

Al Ahly’s first team will complete their preparations at 9 p.m. Cairo time (GMT+2) on Thursday with a training session at Prince Moulay El Hassan Stadium, the venue for Friday’s match against AS FAR in the second round of the CAF Champions League group stage.
