-

-

-
Pyramids FC vs. Smouha (30 June Stadium)
Championship Scenarios: Who Will Lift the Shield?
With only three points separating the top three teams, the race is wide open:
-
Zamalek (53 pts): The White Knights need only one point (a draw) against Ceramica to officially secure their 15th league title.
-
Pyramids FC (51 pts): To win their first-ever title, they must defeat Smouha and hope for a Zamalek loss.
-
Al Ahly (50 pts): Their path is the most difficult. The Red Devils must beat Al Masry, provided that both Zamalek and Pyramids lose their respective matches.
Beyond the title, the top two spots are crucial as they guarantee qualification for the CAF Champions League next season.
