What Happened
Al Ahly Cairo has emerged victorious in the women’s Egypt Super Cup, concluding a three-day, four-team round-robin tournament in Cairo on February 16. The club finished at the top of the standings with a perfect 3-0 win-loss record, accumulating 8 points. This victory marks Al Ahly’s fourth consecutive super cup title. Alexandria Sporting Club secured second place with a 2-1 record and 6 points, while Zamalek Giza took third with a 1-2 record and 3 points.
Why It Matters
This win reinforces Al Ahly’s dominance in women’s football in Egypt, showcasing their consistent performance and commitment to excellence. Additionally, Al Ahly’s recent narrow 1-0 victory over Smouha in the Nile Egyptian League has temporarily placed them at the top of the league standings with 36 points, intensifying the competition for the title. However, the club is currently facing challenges related to a recent match against the Royal Army in the African Champions League, where disturbances occurred during the game, prompting an investigation by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
What’s Next
As Al Ahly continues to celebrate their super cup victory, they must also navigate the ongoing investigation regarding the disturbances during the African Champions League match. The CAF Disciplinary Committee has yet to set a date for its meeting to address the situation, which could impact Al Ahly’s future in the tournament. Meanwhile, the team will aim to maintain their league lead and secure further victories in upcoming matches.
