Al-Ahli face Auckland FC in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Forward Ivan Toney heads the Al-Ahli attack for the Saudi side. Eduard Spertsyan also appears for Al-Ahli as he makes his tournament first appearance in the tournament.
Squad financial estimates reveal a substantial difference between the two clubs. Market values give Al-Ahli a squad valuation lead of more than 24 times over Auckland FC. Victory in Jeddah could put Al-Ahli on the route to a possible final clash against PSG.
