The upcoming edition of the Egyptian Super Cup has been provisionally scheduled to take place from November 1 to November 8, with four clubs set to participate.
The participating teams are Al Ahly, Zamalek, Pyramids FC, and Al Masry.
Preparations are continuing to finalize the organizational details of the tournament, including the hosting arrangements and the entity responsible for staging the event.
UAE Pro League Apologizes for Hosting the Tournament
Sources have revealed that the UAE Pro League has apologized for participating in the organization and hosting of the upcoming edition of the Egyptian Super Cup.
The UAE Pro League previously participated in organizing and hosting the previous edition of the tournament under an agreement signed in Cairo.
The decision comes as preparations continue for the new edition, which will feature four of Egypt’s prominent clubs.
Details of the Agreement With the Egyptian Football Association
According to the reported details, the agreement signed last year between the Egyptian Football Association and the UAE Pro League included the possibility of the UAE side participating in the organization and hosting of two editions of the Egyptian Super Cup.
However, activating the second year of the agreement was optional and required approval from both parties rather than being automatically binding.
As a result, the upcoming edition will not automatically continue under the same hosting arrangement.
Talks Underway With UAE and Gulf Entities
Negotiations are currently taking place with other entities in the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf region in an effort to reach an agreement with a new partner to host and organize the upcoming Egyptian Super Cup.
The parties involved are working to determine the new hosting partner as preparations for the tournament move forward.
Al Ahly, Zamalek, Pyramids and Al Masry to Participate
The upcoming Egyptian Super Cup will feature Al Ahly, Zamalek, Pyramids FC and Al Masry.
The four-team lineup means that the remaining organizational arrangements are expected to receive significant attention ahead of the tournament.
Further details regarding the host venue and the organizing partner are expected to be finalized once the ongoing negotiations are completed.
