The Red Devils will play this Super Cup as the Premier Egyptian League champions, while Zamalek will enter the game as the winner of the Egypt Cup.

The tournament was held in UAE three times before. The Red Devils and the White Knights met there two times before as Al Ahly won the first encounter 3-2, while the Whites won the second one on penalities.
