Pyramids FC embarks on its journey in the Egyptian Professional Clubs Association Cup, facing Farco at 5:00 PM today at the Air Defense Stadium.
This encounter marks the opening match of Group 2 in the group stage of the third edition of the tournament.
Entering the tournament with aspirations of clinching their first-ever title, Pyramids FC seizes the opportunity presented by the absence of traditional powerhouses, Al Ahly and Zamalek, who opted out of the competition.
The Sky Blue team faces Farco in the Group 2 opener, confronting the challenge of significant player absences.
Notable omissions include key internationals such as Mohannad Lashin, Mostafa Fathi, Ahmed El-Shennawy, and Ali Gabr, who are representing Egypt national team in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Additionally, Osama Jalal, Ramadan Sobhi, and Abdullah El-Said are sidelined due to injuries.
In contrast, Farco aims to leverage the Egyptian Professional Clubs Association Cup as an opportunity to rectify their standing following a dip in performance in the league.
