CAF Champions League: Al Ahly vs AS FAR in front of nearly 50,000 fans?

Cairo International Stadium is gearing up for an exceptional football night this Saturday, as giants Al Ahly host AS FAR in the sixth round of the CAF Champions League group stage. This North African showdown promises a massive crowd in attendance.

The match carries the weight of a group B final. Al Ahly, who have already secured qualification, are aiming to finish top of the group. The Moroccan side, on the other hand, have yet to confirm their spot, but with a win, they could leapfrog the most decorated club in CAF Champions League history and snatch first place.

The stakes are high, and the fans don't want to miss this football festival. According to journalist Micky Junior, Al Ahly have received security clearance to sell 45,900 tickets. Meanwhile, the AS FAR delegation has been allocated 2,200 tickets for their supporters.

Although Cairo International Stadium, with a capacity of 74,100, will not be filled to the brim, this impressive turnout marks a stark contrast to the reality in most African stadiums, which are often empty. The whistle for the Al Ahly vs AS FAR clash will sound on Sunday, February 15, at exactly 16:00 GMT.
