debut by Adis Jasic

For Al Ain, Adis Jasic made his debut in the 76th minute when the game was already 0: 5 against his team. Jasic moved to Al Ain in this transfer window from Wolfsberg and will hopefully play a crucial role in future games. Despite the high defeat, the team will compete against Manchester City next Sunday, which in turn achieved a 2-0 against Wydad AC and currently take second place.

The event marks the first termination of the FIFA Club World Cup in the new format, which will take place in the USA from 2025. This format will include a larger number of teams and a changed structure. In the previous form, seven teams usually took part, but the new concept will include 32 teams in a group phase and a subsequent knockout system. The aim of these reforms is to improve the representative possibilities of different associations and get closer to the reality of world championships for national teams, as described by Wikipedia
