Al Ahly Defeats Al Masry and the African Dream Vanishes

Wednesday 20-05-2026
Al Ahly secured an important 2-0 victory over Al Masry Port Said in the match that brought the two teams together in the final round of the Nile League competition, but despite this, they failed to secure a spot in the African Champions League for the next season.

Despite being outnumbered, "The Red Giant" succeeded in finishing the match in its favor thanks to the brilliance of Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet, who scored both goals of the encounter, leading Al Ahly to a victory that raised the team's tally to 53 points, placing them third in the standings.

However, this victory was not enough to save Al Ahly's continental hopes, as Zamalek and Pyramids officially secured the qualification spots for the African Champions League after finishing the season in the qualifying positions.

On the other hand, it has been confirmed that Al Ahly will participate in the upcoming edition of the CAF Confederation Cup, while the second qualifying spot for the same tournament is yet to be decided.
