The Americans and the Egyptian side will be eager to claim a win here, as the one who goes out on top will get to face Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

The 2022 edition of the FIFA Club World Cup will give us a chance to witness history in the making when the Seattle Sounders lock horns with Al Ahly. The American side will enter this match as CONCACAF's champions, while Al Ahly make it to this clash as runners-up in the CAF Champions League, where they were beaten to the title by hosts Wydad Casablanca.

The American side will become the first non-Mexican team to represent CONCACAF in this competition since 2005, when Saprissa made it to this competition and found the strength to reach the third spot. Now, the American side will want to replicate that feat with the help of players such as Nicolás Lodeiro, Raúl Ruidiaz, and Jordan Morris.

On the other side of the pitch, Al Ahly want to repeat their performances from three different editions of this tournament, in which they finished among the top four. Marcel Koller's side will rely on the expertise of footballers such as Ramy Rabia, Mohamed Sherif, and Taher Mohamed, who could be key to the team's performance at Ibn Batouta Stadium in Tangier.

The winner of this match will earn the right to face Spanish giants Real Madrid for a spot in the final, which makes this clash even more interesting. Both of these teams have proven in the past they have what it takes to shock their opponents, and judging by each team's skills, we could be in for a nerve-wracking experience when they take the pitch.

Here are some interesting facts to keep an eye on before this match kicks off.
