This arrangement ensures that Cairo International Stadium remains available for Zamalek’s meeting with Club Africain on November 28.

With the stadium issue now settled, Zamalek can focus on preparing for the match and making the most of playing at its familiar home venue.

The Egyptian side will aim to secure a positive result against Club Africain and strengthen its position in the CAF Champions League group stage.
