Saudi Arabia's Al-Ittihad FC will face Egypt’s Al Ahly in the FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinals at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium on Friday.
Host Al-Ittihad is looking for another victory against the Cairo giant and to continue shining in the Jeddah-hosted tournament following its 3-0 win over New Zealand's Auckland City in the opening match.
More than 50,000 fans filled the stadium for that match, a record for the tournament.
The winner of Friday’s match will face Brazil’s Fluminense, which is participating for the first time in the tournament.

President Donald Trump said Thursday that a civilian nuclear cooperation deal signed with Saudi Arabia a day earlier is "totally subject" to the kingdom normalizing relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords, adding a significant condition that was not part of the original agreement as announced.
