Barcelona blocks Al-Ahly World Cup benefits
The management of FC Barcelona announced that they have finalized the permanent signing of Hamza Abdul Karim, the youth team striker on loan from Al-Ahli, for a fee of 1.5 million dollars to activate the purchase clause. This transfer impacted Al-Ahli Club's benefit from FIFA's World Cup benefits program, which allocated 250 million dollars to clubs participating in the 2026 World Cup. These bonuses were to be granted to Al-Ahli based on their players' participation in the tournament. However, signing with Barcelona before the World Cup began prevented them from receiving these additional funds. It is worth noting that completing this deal meant Al-Ahli missed out on extra financial benefits that would have depended on Hamza Abdul Karim's participation with the Egyptian national team in the World Cup.
