What time does Al Ahly vs. Inter Miami kick off?

The opening fixture of the 2025 Club World Cup will be taking place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida and will kick off at 8pm local time, which is 1am for viewers watching from the UK.

This is one of a number of fixtures throughout the tournament that will be played in the early hours, as most of the group stage matchdays have games kicking off as late as 2am and 3am for UK viewers.

Where is Al Ahly vs. Inter Miami being played?

The Hard Rock Stadium, home to NFL team Miami Dolphins, will be the venue for the first match of the tournament, and could see as many as 65,000 supporters come through the gates on Saturday night.

It has already hosted the 2024 Copa America final, and will host many matches at the 2026 World Cup, so it is a stadium that will become more familiar to non-NFL fans over the next two summers.

What is at stake for Al Ahly vs. Inter Miami on matchday one?

As the standalone game on Saturday night, there will be many curious eyes on this fixture, and adding in the Lionel Messi factor will draw more attention to the encounter.

Both are up against it in Group A though, with Brazilian giants Palmeiras and Portuguese side Porto drawn alongside them, but the latter are coming into this tournament on the back of an underwhelming season, so both clubs will be optimistic about their chances of finishing in the top two, and a win in this fixture will be crucial towards that.
