One Month to Go: Africa’s Finest Prepare for FIFA Club World Cup

With just 30 days left until the FIFA Club World Cup kicks off, anticipation is building for Africa’s top clubs:

Al Ahly (Egypt), Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa), Esperance de Tunis (Tunisia), and Wydad Athletic Club (Morocco).

Al Ahly, Africa’s most successful club, is undergoing a transition after their CAF Champions League elimination. New coach Jose Riveiro’s experience could be vital as they face Inter Miami and prepare with a friendly against CF Pachuca.

Mamelodi Sundowns arrives with confidence and momentum after booking a CAF Champions League final spot. A friendly against Benfica could be perfect preparation for the tournament.

Esperance de Tunis seeks to translate local dominance into international triumph after a CAF Champions League semifinal exit. They’ll look to make a statement and restore lost glory.

Wydad Athletic Club seeks stability amid coaching uncertainty. With a talented squad and passionate fans, they’ll be closely watched as they prepare for the tournament.

In the final month, all four African representatives will focus on training camps, high-level friendlies, and tactical fine-tuning.

Injury updates, managerial changes, and potential transfers will be crucial as they prepare to challenge the world’s best.
