Al Ahly aim to build on comeback victory in ZED FC Egyptian Premier League clash

Al Ahly will look to claim a second successive Egyptian Premier League victory when they face ZED FC at Cairo International Stadium on Friday, 28 August 2026.

The reigning Egyptian champions opened their 2026-27 campaign with a dramatic comeback against Eastern Company Enppi. They fell two goals behind before responding with three unanswered goals to secure their first points of the season.

The result provided Al Ahly with an early boost after a disappointing previous campaign, when they finished third and lost the league title. That position also meant they missed out on qualification for the CAF Champions League.

Their meeting with ZED FC represents the second round of the new Egyptian Premier League season, with Al Ahly seeking to maintain the momentum generated by their opening-day recovery.
