The Confederation of African Football on Thursday announced that the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh will host the CAF Super Cup 2024 final.
The CAF Super Cup final will be played on Friday, September 27.
CAF Champions League record-holders, Al Ahly will take on Zamalek champions of the CAF Confederation Cup in what is set to be an explosive Egyptian derby for the ultimate African club football crown.
The newly built 22,000-capacity arena, which boasts two Guinness World Record awards for the largest covered football stadium with a non-retractable roof, was officially opened in January this year.
It has since hosted a number of high-profile international events.
Not only will the match be a global display of the best African football clubs, but this year’s tie is further enhanced by the launch of CAF’s new visual identity for the CAF Super Cup, symbolizing the competition’s ongoing evolution and rising prestige.
