History

edit

In 2021, Zamalek played with its Under-21 team as the team dealt with injuries and could not sign new players due to Egyptian Federation regulations.[1]

On December 24, 2022, in the edition of the Super Cup, a stand in the Hassan Moustafa Sports Hall partly collapsed, injuring 27 people.[2] The game was suspended and rescheduled for January 12, 2023, however Al Ahly conceded the game.[3][4]

The 2023 Supercup was played in Bahrain, which was the first time the competition was held outside of Egypt.[5]
