An anticipated Egyptian-South African clash in the Champions League semi-finals.
Egyptian Al Ahly faces South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns in a rematch.
Pyramids Sport, for the first time, reaches this stage against Orlando Pirates.
Will the dream come true and the final be all-Egyptian?
In a repeat of the 2020 Final of the Century between Al Ahly and Zamalek, a 2-1 victory is possible. (Magdy Kafsha)
Pyramids' task may be easier than Al Ahly's, who face the offensively strong Sundowns, especially at home.
With bitter memories of their 5-0 victory in 2019,
The first leg will be held in South Africa on the same day, Friday, April 18,
and the return leg will be held in Cairo the following Friday, April 25.
All matches will be played at the same time, 5:00 PM local time.
Here, the two "Egyptian" teams can arrange travel "together" on one private plane.
This saves the high cost due to the 6,300 km distance between Cairo and Johannesburg, a 12-hour direct flight.
And reduces the cost of the flight. The tense atmosphere following the league match crisis and the foreign referee.
We wish Pyramids Sport success in reaching the CAF Champions League final for the first time after losing the CAF Confederation Cup final last year.
We also wish Al Ahly of Egypt victory, retaining their title, and winning their 13th CAF Champions League title under the leadership of Swiss coach Marcel Koller.
Before the arrival of the famous German coach Jürgen Klopp, "Liverpool,"
whose page announced his contract to coach Al Ahly of Egypt
and his leadership of the African champions in the Club World Cup America.
After the successful signing of Zizou from Zamalek and Tunisian defender Ben Romdhane,
the legendary Mahmoud El Khatib Bibo continues to surprise players and coaches alike.
