Al-Ahli banks on Saudi strength against African teams
The article discusses the match between Al-Ahli Saudi team and South African club Mamelodi Sundowns in the 2026 Club World Cup, focusing on the dominance of Saudi clubs over their African counterparts in previous encounters. Saudi teams have achieved four victories out of seven matches against African clubs, with three losses, in tournaments such as the FIFA Club World Cup and the Confederations Cup. Saudi clubs have demonstrated clear superiority, with Al-Nassr defeating Raja Casablanca 4-3, Al-Ittihad beating Al-Ahly of Egypt 1-0, and Al-Hilal winning against Espérance Tunis 1-0. Their few defeats to African teams include Al-Hilal's 0-4 loss to Al-Ahly of Egypt in 2021 and Al-Ahly's penalty shootout loss to Wydad Casablanca in 2022. Al-Ahli aims to reinforce this dominance in the upcoming match against Mamelodi Sundowns.
