The double legged tie will then conclude a week later at the Cairo International Stadium when Zamalek plays host to the second leg on Sunday, 19 May from 7PM EAT.

Both RS Berkane and Zamalek raised their hands and stamped their authority as the tournament’s firm favourites after finishing top of their respective groups without a single loss enroute to the final.

While the Moroccans have enjoyed more CAF Confederation Cup success than their Egyptian counterparts, having won the title twice and losing out once in the final, Zamalek have proven cup pedigree and will certainly aim at repeating their 2019 success over the Moroccans to halt what could potentially be a five-year continental trophy drought for the White Knights.

Sunday’s start to the double-legged final is set to be broadcast live and in high-definition to the global audience, with CAF pulling out all the stops in ensuring that African football’s global audience experiences both finals in the best broadcast technology.
