Pyramids FC is set to face Flamengo in the semi-finals of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup on Saturday, December 13, 2025. The Egyptian club earned its place in this prestigious tournament after a strong performance, defeating Auckland City 3-0 and overcoming Al-Ahli Saudi with a score of 3-1 during the FIFA Africa-Asia-Pacific playoff.
Flamengo secured their spot by triumphing in the FIFA Americas Derby against Cruz Azul, narrowly winning 2-1. The Uruguayan midfielder Giorgian de Arrascaeta was instrumental in Flamengo’s victory, scoring both goals for his team in the 14th and 71st minutes. Despite a late goal from Sanchez for Cruz Azul in the 44th minute, it proved insufficient to change the outcome of the match.
The upcoming clash between Pyramids, the African champions, and Flamengo, the holders of the Copa Libertadores, promises to be an exciting battle. The victor will advance to the final, where they will meet Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning European champions, on December 17 in Qatar. This format of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup unites champions from each confederation’s top competitions on an annual basis, contributing to the global football calendar and excitement among fans.
With both teams showcasing their strength and skill, football enthusiasts eagerly anticipate a thrilling match that could lead to a remarkable final encounter against PSG.
