Egypt's Al Ahly and Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad are involved in a row over unregistered players ahead of their opening match Sunday at the FIFA Club World Championship.
Ittihad coach Anghel Iordanescu on Thursday hit back at Ahly accusations that his squad includes three unregistered players.
"FIFA are here -- they can judge. It's not my role to judge. We registered the players and they have a contract with us," Iordanescu said.
