The 2020-21 Egyptian Super Cup (also known as the 2020–21 SAIB Egyptian Super Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the 18th Egyptian Super Cup, an annual football match played between the winners of the previous season's Egyptian Premier League and Egypt Cup. It was played at Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria, Egypt, on 21 September 2021, contested by Al Ahly and Tala'ea El Gaish.[3]

Since Al Ahly won the treble in the previous season (league, cup and CAF Champions League), Tala'ea El Gaish were awarded a spot in this season's super cup as the 2019–20 Egypt Cup runners-up. This was the last edition where the cup runners-up participate in the super cup if one team won the double in the previous season. Starting from the 2021–22 edition, the league runners-up would participate instead.[4]

Tala'ea El Gaish won the match 3–2 on penalties, after the original and extra time ended 0–0, winning their first-ever title in all professional competitions.[5]

Venue

Borg El Arab Stadium during a match in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The match was played at Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria, Egypt. It is one of the home venues for the Egyptian national team and occasionally hosts selected matches for different clubs in Egypt, including Al Ahly, Al Ittihad, Zamalek and others. It has an estimated capacity of 86,000 and is considered one of the most important sporting facilities in Egypt. It is the largest stadium in Egypt by seating capacity and the second largest stadium in Africa, after South Africa's FNB Stadium.

It was one of the eight venues that hosted the

2019 CAF Confederation Cup Final
.

The stadium hosted the super cup two times before. The first time was the

2018–19 edition that witnessed Al Ahly celebrating their 11th super cup title following their 3–2 victory over Egypt Cup winners Zamalek
.

Pre-game

Officials

Mehdi Abid Charef was selected as the video assistant referee.

On 14 September 2021, it was reported that the match would be officiated by Algerian officials led by

2021 CAF Super Cup between Al Ahly and RS Berkane. His compatriots Abdelhak Etchiali and Abbas Akram Zerhouni were chosen as the assistant referees, while Lyés Bekouassa was chosen as the fourth official. Mehdi Abid Charef was named the video assistant referee, and was assisted by Lahlou Benbraham.[1]

Relocation to Borg El Arab

The match was initially planned to be played at the

final of 2020–21 CAF Champions League. Al Ahly went on to achieve their 10th Champions League title later that month after defeating Kaizer Chiefs of South Africa 3–0.[7]

In early September 2021, the Egyptian Football Association announced the new date for the match, and moved it to Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria following the renovations made to the stadium.[8]

2021 summer signings participation

Despite the match was originally scheduled to be played before the start of the 2020–21 season, the Egyptian Football Association announced that both teams would be allowed to play their new signings who joined their respective clubs during the 2021 summer transfer window in the match.[9]
