"Rui Patricio has signed a short-term contract with Al-Ain to play in the Club World Cup, bringing vital experience to the team."
"Patricio will arrive in the UAE to undergo medical tests and join first-team training, enhancing Al-Ain's prospects in the upcoming tournament."
Rui Patricio, the veteran Portuguese goalkeeper, has signed a short-term contract with Al-Ain to participate in the 2025 Club World Cup. The 38-year-old joins from Atalanta after just one season and previously enjoyed a successful stint at Roma. Al-Ain, following their 2024 AFC Champions League victory, hopes Patricio's experience, including 108 caps for Portugal and a key role in their 2016 European Championship triumph, will bolster their squad as they face top teams like Manchester City and Juventus in Group G.
