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

Cairo International Stadium is gearing up for a massive football night this Saturday. The powerhouse Al Ahly will host FAR Rabat in the sixth round of the CAF Champions League group stage. This North African clash is expected to draw a huge crowd.

The match feels like a final for Group B. Al Ahly, having already secured qualification, is aiming to finish the group stage on top. Meanwhile, the Moroccans have yet to guarantee their spot, but a win would give them the chance to overtake the most decorated club in African football and seize first place.

The stakes couldn't be higher, and fans are eager to witness this football spectacle. According to journalist Micky Junior, Al Ahly has received security approval to sell 45,900 tickets. On the other hand, FAR Rabat has been allocated 2,200 tickets for their supporters.

Although Cairo International Stadium, with its 74,100-seat capacity, won't be completely full, this impressive turnout stands in stark contrast to the reality across the continent, where stadiums are often nearly empty. The Al Ahly vs FAR Rabat showdown kicks off on Sunday, February 15, at 16:00 GMT.
