The Cairo International Stadium will be the focal point of Arab and African football this Saturday, as Zamalek SC hosts USM Alger in the second leg of the 2026 CAF Confederation Cup Final.
The first leg in Algeria was filled with drama. Zamalek thought they had secured a late win through Juan Bezerra, but VAR overturned the goal and awarded a penalty to USM Alger instead, resulting in a 1-0 victory for the hosts. Now, backed by 50,000 fans, Zamalek needs a 2-0 win to claim their third title, while any draw favors the Algerian side.
