African Champions League.. date of the summit of Al-Ahly of Egypt and the Royal Moroccan Army

The Moroccan and Egyptian summit between Al-Ahly and its host, the Royal Army, takes over the rest of the confrontations in the second round of the first round of the African Football Champions League, which is hosted by Prince Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat on Friday (11:00 pm UAE time) within the second group competitions.
This round comes before the long break for the competition, which will last for about two months, to make way for the African Cup, which will be hosted by Morocco between December 21 and January 18 next.
The “Club of the Century” comes to Rabat aspiring to return with three points after its victory last week over Algeria’s JS Kabylie 4-1, thus retaining the lead.
However, the team is suffering from a severe injury crisis that confuses the calculations of Danish coach Yes Thorup, as the absence of goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shenawy, defender Mustafa El-Ash, Hussein El-Shahat, and winger Ahmed Abdel-Qader were confirmed. However, the team has a star-studded lineup with the presence of Moroccan Achraf Ben Sharqi, Tunisian Mohamed Ali Ben Ramadan and Mahmoud Hassan “Trezeguet”.
Al-Ahly striker Mohamed Sharif indicated that the match against Al-Jaish will not be easy, stressing the strength of the opposing team and its great history.
Al-Zaeem is missing influential players, led by striker Hamza Khaba, who has been suspended. Despite this, the military team is looking forward to compensating for its loss in the opening round against Tanzania’s Young Africans.
The match is considered pivotal for Brazilian Army coach Alexander Santos, as it is the last opportunity to confront the fans’ criticism of the team’s performance under his leadership.
In the same group, JS Kabylie will look to reconcile their fans when they host Young Africans.

Pyramids to enhance its launch
Egyptian Pyramids, the defending champion, went through a difficult trip to the south of the continent, where they will defeat their host Power Dynamos of Zambia in the city of Ndola on Saturday in the first group competitions.
The “Celestial” team is seeking to strengthen its strong start after opening its third participation in the competition by defeating Nigeria’s Rivers United with a clean 3-0 score by Ahmed Atef “Katta”, which is the same result that Morocco’s RS Berkane won over Dynamos in the same group.
Pyramids will miss its star Ramadan Sobhi for a long time, after he was suspended due to doping, which deprives Croatian coach Kronoslav Jurcic of one of his most important cards and puts pressure on the rest of the players, especially Moroccan midfielder Walid El Karti and Democratic Congolese striker Fiston Maiele.
Berkane is also going through a difficult trip to Lagos without its player Youssef Mihri, but he will have his top scorer, Osama Melewi, back.
Tunisian coach Mouin Chaabani, who led “Barakna” to the CAF Confederation Cup title last season, said, “We will go to Nigeria with the aim of returning with a positive result, and we hope that it will be a victory outside the field. We know that the match will not be easy, and our goal is to reach the furthest possible point in the CAF Champions League.”
The Nigerian team is led by former international star and current coach Fenidi George, who called on his players to win: “The issue is not physical as much as it is mental, and we must achieve victory on our home soil. The confrontation is decisive and must be won to revive the team’s hopes of competing for one of the two qualification cards.”
The South African coach of Mouloudia Algiers, Rulani Mokoena, will be in a special match against his former team, Mamelodi Sundowns, at the “July 5” stadium in the third group.
Al-Ameed, which had a faltering start by losing to Al-Hilal of Sudan 1-2, is looking forward to restoring balance, while Sundowns hopes to strengthen its momentum after defeating Saint-Ilois Lububo of the Democratic Republic of Congo 3-1.
Al Hilal will meet its host Lububo on Sunday in Lubumbashi.
In the fourth group, Esperance of Tunisia hopes to achieve a good result against its host Petro de Luande of Angola on Saturday, in order to compensate for the disappointing draw with the Stade de Mali last week.
The stadium will meet its guest Simba of Tanzania on Sunday.
