Egypt football: Premier League season progresses

Overview

The 2026-27 Egyptian Premier League season continues to see a tight race at the top. Following Al Ahly SC’s 2-0 victory over Abu Qir Fertilizers in the fifth round, the club reached 13 points. Zamalek SC also reached 13 points after a 1-0 win against Ghazl El Mahalla, secured by an 86th-minute penalty from Ahmed Sherif. This result moved Zamalek to the top of the standings on goal difference. Following the match, Ghazl El Mahalla manager Khaled Galal noted that the score did not reflect his team’s performance, as they missed several opportunities.

As the season progresses, Pyramids FC has moved ahead of the chasing pack with 15 points. Both Al Ahly and Zamalek remain undefeated through five rounds, each holding four wins and one draw. This set the stage for the 133rd Summit match between the two rivals at Cairo International Stadium.

Historically, Al Ahly holds the advantage in this derby with 52 wins to Zamalek’s 29, with 51 draws recorded across 132 previous encounters. Al Ahly has also maintained a superior scoring record in these matchups, netting 163 goals compared to Zamalek’s 113. The current Egypt national team manager, Hossam Hassan, holds the record for the most goals in league derby history with nine.
