Al Ahly face a daunting week ahead.

Following their clash against Al-Merrikh on Saturday, they will take on Egyptian Premier League log leaders Pyramids on Tuesday, 8 March (20:00).

They will then head for South Africa for the blockbuster clash against current Group A leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, with that clash scheduled for Friday, 11 March at the FNB Stadium at 15:00 – both of which were exclusively confirmed by The South African website.
