2017 Egypt Cup Final

The 2017 Egypt Cup Final was the 85th final of the Egypt Cup, Africa's oldest football cup competition. It was played on 15 August 2017 at Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria and was contested between Al Ahly and Al Masry. The winners would have entered the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup had they not already qualified. However, since Al Ahly already qualified for the 2018 CAF Champions League, the Confederation Cup entry went to Al Masry, as they reached the Cup final.[3]
