Al-Ahly and Zamalek will face off in the final of last season’s 2022-2023 edition of the Egypt Football Cup competition. The cup final will be held outside Egypt for the first time in history, and will be hosted by Al Awal Park Stadium in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

The 11-time African champion (a record) suffers from influential absences, most notably his captain and goalkeeper, Mohamed El-Shenawy, who is injured in the shoulder.
