Can Al-Ahly of Egypt participate in the Champions League?

MBC Egypt has reopened an old discussion about the possibility of some non-European clubs participating in the European Champions League, including the possibility of Al-Ahly of Egypt participating in the most prestigious competition for world clubs in the old continent.

The Egyptian media, Khaled Talaat, stated during his participation in the "Al-Laib" program that "it is possible, if Al-Ahly applies to participate in the European Champions League," stressing that "Ufa" will not hesitate to accept the request of the Egyptian club.

He continued: Al-Ahly has a huge fan base in Egypt and the Arab world that will help accept his request, as well as his achievements in Africa by winning 10 continental titles, all of which are advantages that will make his presence in the European Champions League a great addition to the competition in terms of mass, marketing and also technical.

He said that there are many examples of teams and clubs participating in competitions outside their continent.

It is noteworthy that Barcelona club president Joan Laporta had suggested, during his first presidency of the club, to European Union officials, to open the door for the participation of clubs from Africa, Asia and Latin America in the European competition, in order to increase the audience of the competition in the world.
