African football fans are preparing for a thrilling showdown as Pyramids FC take on Morocco’s Renaissance Sportive de Berkane (RSB) in the 2025 CAF Super Cup.
Scheduled for Saturday, October 18, the match promises a high-stakes encounter between two of the continent’s premier clubs.
The Stade du 30 Juin, also known as Al-Défense Aérienne, will host the clash in Cairo at 20:00 local time (17:00 GMT, 18:00 Morocco).
BeIN Sports, the official CAF broadcaster, will provide live coverage across Africa.
The fixture carries significant historical context.
The clubs previously met in a major CAF final during the 2020 Confederation Cup, when RSB secured a 1-0 victory thanks to an own goal.
That result has set the stage for a much-anticipated revenge mission by Pyramids, keen to assert themselves on the continental stage.
Pyramids FC enter the final in commanding form.
The 2024 Egyptian league champions have extended their momentum into the new season, dominating domestic fixtures and impressing in the CAF Champions League preliminary rounds.
Their possession-based play and aggressive pressing make them a disciplined and formidable squad.
RS Berkane, Morocco’s reigning champions, also arrive in strong shape.
Renowned for their tactical discipline and experience in continental finals, the Oriental club has demonstrated consistency throughout the season, relying on structured transitions and defensive solidity to navigate high-pressure encounters.
The stakes are substantial.
Pyramids aim for their first Super Cup title, a chance to solidify their emergence as a continental force, while RSB seeks a second Super Cup triumph following their 2022 victory, further cementing their position in African football.
The winner will also claim a $500,000 prize, adding a lucrative incentive to the prestige of the trophy.
Analysts predict a closely fought contest. Pyramids’ home advantage and current form provide a slight edge, yet Berkane’s final experience and tactical discipline could prove decisive.
With contrasting styles—possession and pressing versus structured defense and counter-attacks—the match is expected to be decided by a single goal.
Fans and pundits alike are eagerly awaiting kickoff as this CAF Super Cup promises intensity, skill, and a defining moment in African club football.
