One of the biggest announcements came on July 13. The Saudi General Entertainment Authority (GEA) and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) revealed something super exciting. Riyadh Season 2024 will host the African Super Cup final between Egypt’s top football clubs, Al Ahly and Zamalek, in September 2024.

Tickets for this epic match will be available soon, most likely on weebook.com, so keep an eye out. You don’t want to miss the chance to see this historic game live.
While CAF is still to announce the exact venue and kickoff time, the anticipation is building. Turki Al-Shaikh, the chairman of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority’s Board of Directors, said, “This event brings together two football giants from our brotherly country, Egypt: Al Ahly and Zamalek. We all look forward to a competitive match that meets our expectations.” Sounds like he’s just as excited as we are!
The event will be held on September 27, 2024.
