Portuguese Porto star Stephen Ostakio believes that Al Ahly is the toughest opponent in the 2025 Club World Cup.

Ostakio stated in remarks to the Portuguese newspaper "Record" that the Al Ahly team is characterized by physical strength and high fighting spirit, even though his team does not have extensive information about them.

He added: "Al Ahly is a team that runs a lot and fights until the end, and that is why they will be our biggest challenge in this group."

He continued: "We are aware of the difficulty of the matches, but we aspire to deliver a distinguished performance, and if we can maintain our focus and winning mentality, we will be able to advance beyond the group stage."

He confirmed that his team aims to reach the furthest stage possible in the tournament and that competing in the Club World Cup is akin to the Champions League.
