⚽ It’s the final day of the EFA Cup’s round of 16, with Zamalek v National Bank and Pyramids v Enppi, both scheduled for 9:15pm. Friendly reminder that Al Ahly decided to withdraw from the championship, citing their tight schedule with other championships, which allowed Al Masry to qualify automatically to the quarter-finals.

Fun fact: Every single one of the past five matches in the round of 16 ended with a tie, with the final outcome determined by penalty shootouts.

Over in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers:

  • England v Ukraine (6pm)
  • Malta v Italy (8:45pm)
  • Luxembourg v Portugal (8:45pm)

Zambia plays host to the Egyptian Olympic squad in the third round of the qualifiers for the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations at 6pm. Last week’s match at the Air Defense Stadium in Egypt ended with the Pharaohs coming out on top with a final score of 2-0, meaning Egypt only needs to secure a tie or lose with a one-goal difference to qualify for the U-23 African Cup of Nations in Morocco. The championship also acts as a qualifier for the Olympic Games, with the top three teams in the championship set to compete in the 2024 Games in Paris.
