Al Ain FIFA Club World Cup 2025 squad: Rui Patricio & Matias Palacios included

The UAE club will face Juventus and Man City in the competition.
The first team’s initial roster for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 football tournament has been revealed by the Al Ain football club.
32 football teams will compete in the competition, which will be held in the United States of America between June 14 and July 13. There are 33 players in the starting lineup for the Al Ain first team football squad.
Al Ain are in a tough group. They are set to fight for a second or first spot against two European giants. They will compete against Wydad Athletic, Manchester City, and Juventus in Group G.
It will be challenging for them to put up a fight against City and Juventus, as both clubs are favourites to secure a spot in the knockout round. However, the UAE club could still cause a major upset in the Club World Cup.
On the 18th of this month, the Al Ain team will play their debut game against the Juventus Football Club of Italy. The game will be played on the green field of Audi Field Stadium in Washington, D.C., the American capital.
Their second game will be a tricky fixture against Manchester City on 22nd June. The outcomes of this match and their earlier clash with Juventus will likely determine Al Ain’s fate in Group G before they conclude the group stage against Wydad AC on 26th June.
