Match K.O at 19:30 cairo time | 13:30 ET CANADA-USA
Venue: Cairo Air Defence stadium
Referee: Mohamed Farouk
Zamalek, who collected a record 83 points from 36 matches, will celebrate the title when they face Talae El-Geish today, albeit behind closed doors due to lingering security concerns.
Zamalek claimed their first Egyptian Premier League title in 11 years without kicking a ball on Tuesday after nearest challengers Ahly were held to a 1-1 draw by Smouha, ending a long wait for an elusive crown.
The White Knights have finally ended the hegemony of bitter rivals Ahly, who have won the coveted title eight times in a row since Zamalek’s last triumph in 2004. Two seasons were cancelled due to civil unrest in Egypt.
Zamalek have an unassailable five-point lead over Ahly with one match remaining for the latter.
