Speaking at a musical event held on Thursday evening in Riyadh, Al-Sheikh expressed his hopes for a match befitting the stature of the two prestigious clubs, one that the fans would thoroughly enjoy.
“We are open to collaboration in the coming period… The prizes for the Egyptian Cup final have reached unprecedented figures, with millions of dollars invested to ensure the event lives up to the history of the two teams,” Al-Sheikh remarked.
Al-Sheikh further announced that the winner of the match would receive a trophy made of pure gold, with commemorative gifts for the fans attending the encounter.
