The administration of Egyptian football club Al-Ahly eagerly awaits a decision from security authorities regarding the possible expansion of fan attendance at Cairo International Stadium for the first leg of the CAF Champions League final against Wydad Athletic.
According to reports from Egyptian media, Al-Ahly officials are seeking approval from the security authorities to open the stadium at its full capacity for the Wydad match.
They have reportedly contacted the relevant authorities to request a capacity of 50,000 spectators. However, the approval obtained thus far only permits a maximum of 20,000 people in attendance, pending further security meetings.
Saad Shalaby, the executive director of Al-Ahly Club, expressed the team’s anticipation for the security decision that would allow them to maximize the stadium’s potential.
“We have renewed our request once again and are striving to accommodate as many fans as possible, as we have complete faith in our supporters.”
The opportunity to increase the audience size remains a possibility, and Al-Ahly is actively working with the security authorities to facilitate this. The first leg of the CAF Champions League final is scheduled for next Sunday, with the second leg taking place at the Mohammed V sports complex in Casablanca on June 11.
