Ayman Ashraf, Al Ahly defender, stated that the whole team has great ambitions and all the players are keen to secure a great achievement this year. 

"The current generation had a great experience after the two previous participations in the competition. This will be Al Ahly's eighth time participating in this prestigious competition. Also, It's a great honour for any player to represent Al Ahly in the FIFA Club World Cup for the third time in a row."

"Every player dreams of facing Real Madrid. This competition puts us face one of the biggest teams in Europe. However, it's so early to speak about this game right now."

"We are currently focused on our game against Auckland City FC. We are preparing very well for the game and we aim to secure the victory to make our fans happy."

"The experienced players in the team always help the youngsters and the newcomers. We gained a lot of experience from the previous player and it is our duty to help the younger generations".

"We always play for the badge and the fans. We feel their support and we will do our best to make them happy."
