Live : Zamalek vs Rayon Sports | African Confederation Cup

Egyptian authorities decided to hold Zamalek’s game at home to Rwanda’s Rayon Sports in the first leg of the Confederation Cup round of 32 in the Red Sea resort of El-Gouna.

The game will mark the debut of former Porto coach Jesualdo Ferreira, who succeeds fellow countryman Jaime Pacheco after the latter left the club in an acrimonious manner after falling out with Mansour.

Zamalek, five-time winners of the elite Champions League, have not played in the new version of Africa’s secondary club competition since it was created more than 10 years ago.

Their last participation in the old CAF Cup was in 1999 when they were eliminated in the semi final. Ahly, Zamalek’s arch rivals, became the first Egyptian side to win the Confederation Cup when they beat Ivory Coast’s Sewe Sport in a two-legged final last year.

Starting lineup:

Zamalek: Ahmed El-Shenawi; Hamada Toulba, Ahmed Dwidar, Ali Gabr, Hazem Emam; Ibrahim Salah, Ahmed Tawfik, Ma’rouf Youssef; Ayman Hefny, Ahmed Eid, Khaled Qamar.
