The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that the 2024 CAF Super Cup final between Al Ahly SC and Zamalek SC, both from Egypt, will hold in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on September 27. This match is part of Riyadh Season 2024, as stated by CAF on Friday.
In the all-Egyptian club final, African giant Al Ahly SC, who are the current champions of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League, will face rival Zamalek SC, current champions of the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup, in a Middle Eastern venue away from their home country.
The African football governing body will announce the venue and kick-off time of the match in due course.
CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe said: “The partnership between CAF and Saudi Arabia is based on the excellent relationship and mutual commitment of both the parties. CAF is excited to work together and partner with the General Entertainment Authority. We look forward to the TotalEnergies CAF Super Cup Final 2024 between two of the most popular and successful Clubs in Africa, namely Al Ahly and Zamalek.”
CAF has previously hosted the Super Cup final outside of Africa. From 2019 to 2021, the one-off game took place in Qatar before returning to the continent in 2022, hosted by Morocco. In 2023, Saudi Arabia hosted the CAF Super Cup and the event will return to the country once again.
The TotalEnergies CAF Super Cup Final 2024 will be one of the prominent sporting events to feature in Riyadh Season 2024.
