Egypt’s progress at the Africa Cup of Nations could come at a heavy cost to its most popular club, dividing fan loyalties as the country awaits a key quarterfinal clash in Cameroon on Sunday.

It also highlights a strange decision by Fifa to host its Club World Cup at the same time as the final week of the Cup of Nations tournament in an unprecedented overlapping of dates.

But if Egypt beat Morocco in Sunday’s Nations Cup quarterfinal, and advance to next week’s semifinal and final, Ahly will have to play without six of their best players, who are in the Egypt squad at the tournament in Cameroon. They also have another player, Ali Maaloul, in Tunisia’s squad and he is in the same situation, as his national team play Burkina Faso in their quarterfinal on Saturday.

The overlap in dates and potential impact on Al Ahly being able to take their strongest team to the Club World Cup was pointed out in a protest to world football’s governing body but fell on deaf ears.
