According to an EFA statement, Ahly and Pyramids FC would participate in the CAF Champions League as the holders and runners-up of the Egyptian Premier League 2024/2025 season, respectively.
Meanwhile, Zamalek and Masry will play in the CAF Confederation Cup. The White Knights are Egypt Cup winners, while the Port Said-based club ended the league competition in fourth place.
The new season of the Champions League and the Confederation Cup will kick off next September.
Pyramids FC recently won the Champions League title after beating South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns in the final. Meanwhile, the 12-time African Champions Ahly were eliminated from the semi-final.
On the other hand, Zamalek was eliminated from the quarter-final of the Confederation Cup last season, while Masry also said goodbye in the same round.
