Al Ahly – FC Barcelona: date, time and stadium

The match between Al Ahly and FC Barcelona will be played this Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at Spotify Camp Nou. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:00 GMT, which is 20:00 in France.

This clash is especially significant for Al Ahly, who become the first Egyptian and African club ever to participate in the Joan Gamper Trophy—a historic milestone for African football.

However, FC Barcelona hold the edge in the head-to-head history. The Catalan giants have won all three previous encounters against Al Ahly.

Barcelona first triumphed 6-1 in 1961, then beat Al Ahly 4-0 in 2007 during the Egyptian club's centenary celebration. The two teams met again in the Wembley Cup in 2009, with Barça claiming another victory, this time 4-1.
