The showdown between Espérance de Tunis and Egypt's Al Ahly is undoubtedly the marquee clash of the CAF Champions League 2025-2026 quarter-finals.

To take charge of this highly anticipated quarter-final, the Confederation of African Football's (CAF) refereeing committee has appointed Senegalese referee Issa Sy.

In the past, Sy has officiated four matches involving Espérance de Tunis, which resulted in two wins, one draw, and two defeats for the Tunisian side.

Meanwhile, he has been in charge of three Al Ahly fixtures, with the Egyptians recording just one victory, one draw, and one defeat under his supervision.

The first leg of this heavyweight tie is set for Sunday, March 15 at the Hamadi Agrebi Stadium in the Tunisian capital, while the return leg will take place on Saturday, March 21 at the Cairo Stadium in Egypt's capital.
