Future will take on Pyramids at Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium (Dubai) in the Egyptian Super Cup on Monday.
Future vs Pyramids Preview
Four teams will be participating in this year’s edition instead of the usual two teams, in a two-game format starting with the semi-finals. Future FC, who finished fourth in the 2022-23 Egyptian Premier League, earned qualification for the Super Cup following the exclusion of third-placed Zamalek.
MOF are making their debut and will hope to replicate their league form as well as their brilliant performance in Africa on the Super Cup stage. Future are second-placed with seven points in Group A of the ongoing CAF Confederation Cup and are on the verge of reaching the knockout stage. They lost their last two games against Pyramids.
Pyramids are yet to win the Egyptian Super Cup but have been runners-up once. They lost the previous edition to 13-time winners Al Ahly, who are top favourites for this year’s competition. Pyramids are making their second appearance in the Super Cup and will be eying another final – back-to-back.
The Cairo-based team finished second behind champions Al Ahly in the 2022-23 Egyptian Premier League to qualify for the Super Cup. Pyramids have been struggling of late, notably in the CAF Champions League, where they sit bottom of Group A with four points after four matches.
