African team plays it cool, hires its own bodyguards in the US to protect them when attending the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup

TPO - Although not a big team compared to big names in Europe such as Real Madrid, Inter, Chelsea or Man City, Al Ahly is still determined to fight with the organizers to bring their own security force.

Accordingly, the Egyptian club has applied a strict regime during their stay in the US, participating in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The team turned the hotel where they reside in New Jersey into a real "fortress". In addition to the security force provided by the host, Al Ahly has reached an agreement with the organizing committee, allowing them to hire a private security team to be on duty 24 hours a day.

CNN Arabic wrote: “Al Ahly CEO Mohamed Youssef requested a private security team for the club. Security forces were present at the entrances to the rooms 24 hours a day, even though the hotel was far from crowded areas.”

Al Ahly just drew 0-0 with Inter Miami on the opening day

Perhaps few teams participating in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup have arranged security as strictly as Al Ahly. The move shows that this team wants to focus on the goal of going far in this year's tournament.

There was disappointment when they could not win the opening day against Inter Miami. Therefore, meeting Palmeiras on June 19 is considered a must-win match for the Egyptian team. In addition to tightening security so that the players can focus fully on the match, director Mohamed Youssef also announced that he will give a big bonus if the team wins 3 points against Palmeiras (the amount is said to be equivalent to 35 billion VND).

After the first round of matches, all 4 teams in Group A including Al Ahly, Inter Miami, Palmeiras and Porto have 0 points. The situation is very balanced but the disadvantage belongs to Al Ahly and Inter Miami because in the last 2 matches they have to face superior teams.
