Zamalek Club cuts the ribbon on its return to the CAF Champions League after a three-year absence, starting with its preliminary first-leg match tonight against Djibouti's AS Port, as it seeks to reclaim its continental title dreams.
Zamalek resumes its CAF Champions League campaign tonight against its Djiboutian opponent, marking its return after 1,253 days since its last match in the 2022–2023 edition.
The White Knights continue their quest for the lost African princess, having previously reigned over the continent on five occasions.
Zamalek won the CAF Champions League titles in the years: 1984, 1986, 1993, 1996, and 2002.
Its best performances in recent years came in the 2016 and 2020 editions, where it reached the finals but failed to secure the title.
Zamalek remains the second most decorated club in CAF Champions League history, despite being away from the throne for 24 years since winning the 2002 title against Morocco's Raja Casablanca.
Led by coach Moataz Gamal, the White Team hopes to delight its fans, restore its legacy in the continental tournament, and achieve its sixth Champions League title in history.
