Ahli will host Leopards at Gouna Stadium rather than Alexandria, the Cairo club confirmed on their website. The defending champions were hopeful of hosting their Congolese opponents at the Army Stadium in Alexandria in order to avoid the heat of Hurghada. As the Gouna Stadium lacks floodlights, Ahli will be forced to play the game during daylight at a nearly 38 °C temperature. The Reds were given a huge boost by beating Leopards in Dolisie as they now have a chance to move second with another win in Gouna. The match takes place in August 31.
