Al Ahly Director of Football Sayed Abdelhafiz announced that all the team players will travel to Qatar for the FIFA Club World Cup, scheduled between 4 and 11 February. 

Abdelhafiz added that the decision followed FIFA's amendment on the competition's rules, which allows all teams to make changes to their final list, 24 hours ahead of the tournament and during the tournament itself. 

In line with this amendment, the coaching staff decided to include all the players in the team's official delegation, heading to the Qatari capital, Doha, to participate in the tournament.
