After both semi-final first legs ended in goalless draws—Al Ahly holding Mamelodi Sundowns in Pretoria and Pyramids FC matching Orlando Pirates in Johannesburg—the stage is set for a dramatic finish on home soil.
Al Ahly vs. Sundowns – Cairo International Stadium
Marcel Koller’s record-chasing Al Ahly will take the field at Cairo International Stadium determined to convert their strong defensive display in South Africa into a ticket to the final. Backed by a passionate home crowd, the Red Devils will aim to continue their dominance in African football and book their place in the final for the sixth time in eight seasons.
Pyramids FC vs. Orlando Pirates – Air Defense Stadium
At the Air Defense Stadium, Krunoslav Jurčić’s Pyramids FC are on the brink of making club history. After a resilient performance away from home, they now have the opportunity to reach their first-ever CAF Champions League final. A win tonight would mark a new era for the club and place them alongside Al Ahly on the grandest stage in African club football.
With everything to play for, Egyptian fans could be just 90 minutes away from witnessing an all-Egyptian CAF Champions League final for only the second time ever.
