The match date was finally announced by the football association after a very long season due to Egypt’s hosting of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Pyramids FC, formerly known as Al-Assiouty Sport, reached their first-ever final of a major competition after beating Petrojet 2-0 on Monday.

Zamalek, who seek their sixth cup title in seven seasons, booked their place in the final after Sunday’s 1-0 win over Ittihad of Alexandria.

The Whites are the Cup holders after winning the title in the last edition in 2018; beating Smouha 5-4 on penalties.

Zamalek chase their second title this season after they claimed the CAF Cup title last May.

It would be a golden chance for Zamalek to reconcile fans after losing the precious league title to arch-rivals Ahly after throwing away an eight-point lead.

On the other side, the title will kick off a glory era for the high-spending club Pyramids that already became a rising football powerhouse in Egypt after being sold to foreign investors in 2018.

Sunday’s match will witness a big challenge as Zamalek and Pyramids FC will start the game with newly assigned coaches; the Serbian Milutin “Micho” Sredojevic and the French Sebastien Desabre, respectively.

Zamalek squad will be boosted by Tunisian key duo right-back Hamdi Nagguez and central midfielder Ferjani Sassi after obtaining permission to put off joining their national team.
