Confusion in Cairo: Pyramids Celebrate, But Al Ahly Crowned Egyptian Premier League Champions

There was drama and celebration in equal measure at the end of the Egyptian Premier League season, as both Pyramids FC and Al Ahly SC claimed glory in their own way.

While Pyramids players remained on the pitch, celebrating what they believed was their first league title, the official trophy was being handed to Al Ahly at Cairo International Stadium.

Al Ahly emphatically beat Pharco 6-0 in their final game, finishing with 58 points, two ahead of Pyramids, who also secured a big 5-1 win. However, the controversy stems from Al Ahly’s unplayed derby match against Zamalek, which Pyramids argue should result in a three-point deduction — a ruling that would hand them the title.

As it stands, the Egyptian FA recognizes Al Ahly as champions, sparking heated debate and a dramatic end to the season.
