LIVE: Al Ahly SC vs. USM Alger | African Super Cup 2023

K.O. 21:00 Cairo local time | 14:00 ET Canada-USA

The African champions, Ahly, are determined to uphold their winning streak as they prepare to take on the Algerian team USMA, who clinched the Confederation Cup title, in the African Super Cup, which will be held in Saudi Arabia tonight.

Having swept all available titles in the previous season, Ahly is resolute in commencing the new season by securing the continental championship, offering reassurance to their devoted fans that the team remains firmly on course.

Marcel Koller, Ahly’s coach, exudes confidence in his squad’s capacity to contend for every accolade, including the coveted CAF Super Cup, with ambitions to build upon their recent triumphs.

On paper, Ahly is undeniably the frontrunner to seize the championship, strengthened by the summer acquisitions of players like Emam Ashour, a midfielder, and Reda Slim, a Moroccan winger.

However, it’s worth noting that French striker Anthony Modeste, another acquisition, won’t be eligible to participate in the Super Cup due to his late registration on the club’s roster.

Meanwhile, USM Alger coach Abdelhak Benchikha conceded that his team isn’t the frontrunner to emerge victorious in the match but underscored their potential for securing a win.

Ahly boasts an impressive record of eight Super Cup titles, whereas USM Alger has yet to clinch the coveted title.
