Clash of Titans: Pyramids FC and RS Berkane in a Dance for Glory at the TotalEnergies CAF Super Cup
The prestigious TotalEnergies CAF Super Cup is set to continue its proud tradition as Pyramids FC, the winners of the 2024/25 CAF Champions League, prepare to battle RS Berkane, the holders of the CAF Confederation Cup, on Saturday, October 18. The match will take place at the iconic 30 June Stadium in Cairo, marking a significant moment for both clubs.
This encounter will be particularly special for Pyramids FC, as it will be their debut in this illustrious competition. Meanwhile, RS Berkane will aim to add another title to their collection, having previously won the trophy in 2022.
The TotalEnergies CAF Super Cup has evolved from its original format, established as a one-off match between the winners of the African Cup of Champion Clubs and the African Cup Winners’ Cup. Since 2004, it has featured the Champions League winner facing off against the Confederation Cup champion, while maintaining its essence as a showcase of continental supremacy.
Over the past three decades, the competition has produced unforgettable moments and is dominated by the giants of African football. Al Ahly, the Egyptian powerhouse, holds the record for the most titles, with an impressive eight Super Cup victories. They are closely followed by their Cairo rivals, Zamalek SC, with five titles, and TP Mazembe from the Democratic Republic of Congo, who have lifted the trophy three times.
The TotalEnergies CAF Super Cup not only highlights the competitive spirit of African football but has also gained international recognition. Recent editions have been hosted in neutral venues outside Africa, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, reflecting the growing global interest in the continent’s football.
