2020 CAF Champions League Final

The CAF Executive Committee decided in June 2019 that the final would be played as a single match. Three member associations submitted bids during the period of 11–20 February 2020:[9]
The CAF Emergency Committee made the final decision on 12 March 2020, and Japoma Stadium, Douala was officially announced as the final venue on 16 March 2020.[6]

Tunisia	Stade Olympique de Radès	Radès	60,000	Hosted the 2004 African Cup of Nations Final

Cairo International Stadium in Cairo, Egypt, hosted the final.

On 18 April 2020, the CAF announced that the final had been postponed until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]

In July, the Cameroonian Football Federation announced that they had withdrawn from hosting the final.[11]

On 3 August 2020, the CAF announced that the final would be played on 16 or 17 October 2020. It would be played in Egypt if both semi-finalists from Egypt, Al-Ahly and Zamalek, reached the final, or in Morocco if both semi-finalists from Morocco, Raja Casablanca and Wydad Casablanca, reached the final. If one team from Egypt and one team from Morocco reached the final, it was initially decided that the final would be played in a neutral country.[12]

On 10 September 2020, the CAF announced that at the request of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, the final was rescheduled to 6 November 2020.[13]

It was later decided that if the final were between a team from Egypt and a team from Morocco, the final would be played in either Egypt or Morocco, to be decided by a draw, which was held on 16 October 2020 in Casablanca, Morocco prior to the semi-final first legs, and the country drawn was Egypt.[14]

Egypt was confirmed as the host country of the final after Al-Ahly eliminated Wydad Casablanca in the semi-final and reached the final on 23 October 2020.

The semi-final second leg between Zamalek and Raja Casablanca was postponed due to Raja Casablanca being required by Moroccan authorities to self-isolate until 27 October after eight players testing positive for the COVID-19 virus, with the total number of cases increasing to fourteen the following day, and as a result, the CAF announced on 30 October 2020 that the final was further postponed to 27 November 2020.[7]

Borg El Arab Stadium, Alexandria was initially announced as the final venue, but it was decided in early November to relocate the match to Cairo International Stadium, Cairo due to expected heavy rains.[15]

On 25 November 2020, the CAF and the Egyptian Football Association confirmed the final would be played behind closed doors.[3]

El Solia opened the scoring for Al-Ahly in the 5th minute with a downward header from four yards out a corner on the right. Shikabala equalized for Zamalek in the 31st minute when he cut in from the right before shooting left-footed form the edge of the penalty area to the top left corner of the net past Mohamed El Shenawy who did not move.[18] Magdy got the winning goal for Al Ahly in the 86th minute when he controlled the ball on his knee after it was cleared, before volleying to the right corner of the net with his right foot from outside the penalty area.[19]
