Al-Ahli face Auckland FC in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Forward Ivan Toney heads the Al-Ahli forward line for the Saudi team. Eduard Spertsyan also appears for Al-Ahli as he makes his tournament first appearance in the tournament.
Squad financial estimates show a huge difference between the two sides. Market values give Al-Ahli a squad valuation advantage of more than 24 times over Auckland FC. Victory in Jeddah could place Al-Ahli on the path to a potential final against PSG.
