“CAF”: Here is history.. The African Champions League decorates Cairo

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) published it on the official page on the “X” Post website, writing: “Here is history...the African Champions League Cup adorns Cairo.”

“CAF” highlighted the expected confrontation between Al-Ahly and Esperance of Tunisia, scheduled for eight o’clock in the evening the day after tomorrow, Saturday, at Cairo International Stadium, in the second leg of the African Champions League final.

The Al-Ahly club’s football team, led by Swiss Marcel Kohler, is preparing for the upcoming confrontation with Esperance of Tunisia in the second leg of the African Champions League final after the first leg in Rades ended in a scoreless draw.

Al-Ahly ousted its Congolese rival, Mazembe, after drawing in the first leg at the latter’s stadium, 0-0, and winning the return leg in Cairo, 3-0. Esperance advanced at the expense of South Africa’s Sun Downs, after repeating the back-and-forth victory, 1-0.

The 2023-2024 CAF Champions League final became purely Arab for the eighteenth time in the tournament’s history, and the third in a row after Al-Ahly and Morocco’s Wydad advanced to the final of the tournament in the last two editions.

Al-Ahly and Esperance previously met in the Champions League final in two previous editions, in 2012 and 2018.
