Abdullah Al Faisal Hall in Gezira will host one of the most exciting games of the season when Al Ahly host their arch-rivals Zamalek in the African Men's Super Cup final. 

 

The Red Eagles host the competition and they hope to benefit from the advantage of playing the game at home to win the title to add another precious trophy in their successful season. 

 

Al Ahly defeated Zamalek twice in a week in their route to win the domestic double while the White Knights know that a victory over Al Ahly in their own backyard is their last chance to save their season. 

 

Al Ahly are more relaxed ahead of the derby as they qualified directly to the final after the withdrawal of Tunisian giants, Esperance, from the competition. 

 

On the other hand, Zamalek had to play 60 minutes of handball on Saturday night against RD Congo's JSK to reach the final and they made it to the final with an easy 46:25 win. 

 

The organizing committee of the competition announced that 1,000 fans are allowed to attend the game at Al Ahly's iconic arena. 

 

The winner of the game will book a place in the next IHF Super Globe.
