EFA to Organize Egypt Women's Supercup in August
Rana Atef The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) scheduled the 2024/2025 Women's Super Cup for next August, prior to the start of the 2025/2026, instead of May 30. The Super Cup match will feature the champion of the Egyptian Women's Premier League, Massar, against the Egypt Women's Cup winner, Al Ahly. Officials from Massar, as the champions of the Egyptian Women's Premier League, and Al Ahly and Wadi Degla, as the finalists of the Egypt Women's Cup, had objected to the May 30th date for the Egyptian Super Cup. Massar achieved a significant milestone, clinching the title of the Egyptian Women's Premier League for the 2024/2025 season after a full season without a single loss. On the other hand, Al Ahly captured the title of Egypt Women's Cup after defeating Wadi Degla 1-0 in the final. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Al Ahly Win First-Ever Women's Football Egypt Cup Title
Rana Atef On Friday, Al Ahly Women's football team claimed their first Egypt Women's Cup title after a 1-0 victory over Wadi Degla in the final. The final took place at El-Tersana Stadium in Cairo. The match ended with a goalless draw after regular time, before extending it to extra time. The game's only goal was scored by Al Ahly's Ashrakat Adel in the 107th minute. The goal came after a through ball from Lolo Nasser, allowing Ashrakat to break free and slot the ball past the Wadi Degla goalkeeper, Farah Samir. This victory marks Al Ahly's first official women's football title since the team was launched this season in response to the CAF directive requiring clubs to establish women's teams. Al Ahly also finished second in the Egyptian Women's League, behind Masar SC, who retained their title for a second consecutive season. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies

FA Cup final: Omar Marmoush aims to complete magical season by helping Man City beat Crystal Palace
For the 17-year-old kid, wiry and fresh-faced, it was a breakthrough moment. Omar Marmoush had already been talked up locally as a star of the future. He had convinced his parents, initially sceptical, that football could offer a real future for their bright, determined son. Now he had some numbers to show for his belief in himself: A first senior start as a professional, and a first goal in the grown-up ranks. It was the tail end of 2016, and, in a first round Egyptian Cup tie played to a scant audience – crowd restrictions were in place across Egypt's club football – the meeting of Wadi Degla and Pharco was the opportunity for Mido, the Wadi Degla manager and himself a prodigy as a player, to grant Marmoush his springboard. After a smattering of substitute appearances in the league, Mido had told Marmoush to show what he could do with substantial minutes on the clock. He picked him in the starting XI for the first time and, shortly after half time, the tyro scored his team's first goal of a 3-0 win. It was a threshold moment in the striker's phenomenal rise. There have been 73 senior club goals since, spread across Egyptian, German and English football that, on Saturday, might deliver the first senior trophy of Marmoush's career. The kid who made his first tentative steps as a first-teamer in the Egyptian Cup eight-and-a-half years ago will be at London's Wembley Stadium on Saturday targeting the most famous domestic trophy in football – the FA Cup. It is a measure of Marmoush's impact since joining Manchester City in January, from Eintracht Frankfurt, that his case for starting in the final against Crystal Palace is perhaps the most pressing of the questions facing City manager Pep Guardiola – even with top scorer Erling Haaland back from injury. Guardiola rested Marmoush for most of last weekend's goalless draw against bottom club Southampton in the Premier League. It was a deflating scoreline against a team long relegated, with the Egyptian Marmoush, brought on with only six minutes remaining, coming closest to changing the outcome, thumping a shot against the crossbar. 'Maybe he should have played more minutes,' admitted Guardiola, 'because his creativity was really important.' There was a strong hint, too, that Marmoush will be given preferential consideration as attacking partner to Haaland from kick-off at Wembley. 'They can play together, as they played earlier this season before the injury from Erling. Omar is a player who has to move close to the box, the impact has been really good since he arrived,' said the City coach. That impact can be gauged in several ways. The City who made their worst start, in terms of attacking potency, to a Premier League season in 18 years have upped a gear in the period since Marmoush arrived. They have been less beatable, for one thing: 10 defeats across competitions up until the first week of January compared with five, including in both legs of the Uefa Champions League play-off against Real Madrid, in the period that Marmoush has been animating the centre-forward or wide left positions. City have become more resilient, too. Marmoush's stamp on that characteristic is clear. A low point of a markedly substandard campaign for a team who had won six of the seven previous Premier League titles would be the 5-1 loss to Arsenal in early February. Marmoush promptly scored a hat-trick in the next fixture, a 4-0 thrashing of Newcastle United, and although the Egyptian would be on the losing side against his compatriot Mohamed Salah's dominant new champions Liverpool, he again ensured that loss would not be followed by another, scoring and assisting in the subsequent 2-2 draw with Brighton. He led the comeback against Palace in the league, too, a fixture from barely a month ago that City have been studying closely ahead of Saturday's confrontation. Guardiola's men were stung by two early Palace goals, irritated at a penalty shout against Marmoush that had been turned down at 1-0, and revived once the Egyptian had levelled the scores at 2-2. City went on to add three more unanswered goals. If that's an encouraging precedent, so is the fact that City have not lost a domestic fixture in which Marmoush has started in the past three months, edging themselves into the top four of the table and putting themselves on course to qualify for next season's Uefa Champions League. That has usually been a given during the eight-year reign of Guardiola as manager and if there is no disguising the disappointments of 2024/25, the FA Cup run offers the hope of a trophy, at least. Here, too, Marmoush has played a vital role, match-winner in the 2-1 quarter-final win over Bournemouth, provider of City's second goal in the 2-0 semi-final victory over Nottingham Forest. He is entitled to feel he has done enough to be offered a major role in the last step of the journey. And indeed to merit that first senior silverware of a career now fully blossoming, Marmoush can look back over a memorable nine months. As the Bundesliga reaches its conclusion, he remains, despite having appeared in only the first half of Eintracht Frankfurt's campaign, within the top six of the German top-flight's top marksman for 2024/25. His 15 goals in 17 matches before moving to Manchester were scored at a per-minute rate very close to that of Bayern Munich's Harry Kane, who will almost certainly pick up the award for Bundesliga's leading scorer to go with the career-first league title he secured with the Bavarians. As for the illustrious list of players with the best 2024/25 goal contribution statistics – goals plus direct assists – in Europe's top five leagues, Marmoush's Bundesliga and Premier League tally for the season (21 goals and 12 assists) is behind only to Kane's 25 plus nine in Germany and Salah's 28 plus 18 in England. There are no official prizes for that achievement, but there are for winning an FA Cup – a medal Marmoush would cherish as a lasting endorsement of a magical season.
