Zamalek

Kaizer Chiefs need only a point from their visit to Zamalek in Cairo on Saturday to seal their passage to the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals.

Kaizer Chiefs can ill afford any further slip-ups in the CAF Confederation Cup when they host Zamalek at Polokwane's Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday.

CAF Confederation Cup debutants Stellenbosch FC held onto a 0-0 draw at home to Zamalek by the skin of their teeth and will now look to cause a memorable upset in Cairo on Wednesday.

As Stellenbosch FC prepare to face Egyptian giants Zamalek over two legs in the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals, they will do as a club that has consolidated its position near the top.

Stellenbosch FC will host their first ever CAF quarterfinal game on Wednesday April 2, when they take on Zamalek at Cape Town's DHL Stadium in the Confederation Cup.

Egyptian champions Zamalek have parted ways with Portuguese coach Jesualdo Ferreira for the second time in less than two months.

Former NBA players Ike Diogu and DJ Strawberry will need to use all their experience to help BAL champions Zamalek in their title defence, which starts April 9.

Zamalek's football team may have lost the most recent final of the CAF Champions League to Al Ahly, but the inaugural edition of the Basketball Africa League (BAL) offers them a shot at continental supremacy in a different sporting code.

Al Ahly scored a stunning goal four minutes from time as they beat bitter Cairo rivals Zamalek 2-1 to claim the 2019-20 CAF Champions League title.

Zamalek came from behind to score three late goals and beat Raja Casablanca 4-1 on Wednesday in the second leg of their ACL semifinal.
