FIFA, in a press report published on its website, highlighted Al Ain’s participation in the Club World Cup in its new format, which will see the participation of 32 of the world’s most prominent teams, and will be held in the United States in the middle of next year, for which “Al Zaeem” had qualified after winning the AFC Champions League title last season. FIFA indicated that Al Ain participated in the 2018 edition of the Club World Cup and reached the final match, which it lost 4-1 to Real Madrid of Spain.
The report stated that “Al Ain, the giant Emirati football team nicknamed ‘The Boss’, is preparing to dazzle the world in the upcoming edition of the Club World Cup, and that its Argentine coach, Hernan Crespo, is seeking to create a surprise during the tournament.”
The International Federation considered the trio Ahmed Abdullah, Ghanaian Asamoah Gyan, and Omar Abdulrahman (Amouri) as legends of the team.
He said that Ahmed Abdullah is nicknamed “The Gazelle” due to his speed and agility. He is Al Ain’s all-time top scorer with 117 goals, and won three league titles during his 17-year career at the club.
Regarding Asamoah Gyan, FIFA said: “Ghana’s historic top scorer transferred his scoring touch to Al Ain Club, scoring more than 100 goals during the four years he spent with the team, during which he topped the league’s scorers list for three consecutive years, scoring 31 goals in just 22 matches during the 2012-2013 season.”
“He led Al Ain’s midfield from 2008 to 2019, and is one of the most talented players to ever wear the Al Ain shirt. He played 231 matches in all competitions, scoring 62 goals, helping his team win four league titles, three President’s Cup titles, and three Super Cup titles,” he said.
