Cairo Derby sold out as Zamalek host Al Ahly in title-chasing clash on Friday

The stage is set for another explosive chapter of Egyptian football’s fiercest rivalry, with Friday’s Cairo Derby between Zamalek SC and Al Ahly SC officially declared sold out.

The highly anticipated Egyptian top-flight encounter will see Zamalek host Al Ahly in a crucial Championship fixture, with just three matches remaining to conclude the season.

Ahly are aiming to return to winning ways after a humiliating defeat against Pyramids, while Zamalek are aiming to continue their impressive run of form.

The stakes are significant, with Zamalek currently sitting at the top of the table, while Al Ahly trails in third place, intensifying the pressure on both sides as the title race reaches its decisive phase.

Kick-off for the blockbuster fixture is scheduled for 17:00 GMT, and demand for tickets has surged, reflecting the magnitude of the occasion and the enduring appeal of the Cairo Derby, widely regarded as one of African football’s most intense rivalries.

With both teams still firmly in contention for domestic honours, Friday’s clash is expected to play a defining role in shaping the outcome of the season.
