Al Ahly captain Mohamed El Shenawy emphasized the team’s determination to secure victory against Ivorian side Stade d’Abidjan in their CAF Champions League group stage opener. Speaking at the pre-match press conference, El Shenawy highlighted the team’s ambitions for a strong start in their quest to win the prestigious title for the 13th time.
“We aim to begin the tournament with a strong performance. The current squad has participated in several FIFA Club World Cups in recent years, which has given the players significant experience,” El Shenawy said, as reported by the club’s official website, alahlyegypt.com.
El Shenawy acknowledged the challenge of facing motivated opponents. “We understand that every team we face is eager to win, especially when playing against the defending champions. That’s why we consistently remind ourselves of our goals and renew our motivations. Around 80% of the squad has won numerous titles, and they are hungry to achieve even more,” he stated.
The team is scheduled to face Stade d’Abidjan on Tuesday at 6:00 PM Cairo time at Cairo International Stadium, marking the first match of the group stage in the CAF Champions League.
