Egyptian Super Cup Final set for Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium

According to information compiled by Few.ae editor, the Egyptian Super Cup Final will be staged on Sunday, 9 November 2025, at Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, capping a four-day tournament that has brought Egypt’s elite clubs to the UAE for a high-stakes finish under the lights. Kick-off for the title match is confirmed at 7:30 PM UAE time, with gates opening from 5:30 PM to manage the expected surge in traveling fans and local supporters.

Dates, kick-off and how we got here

This year’s Super Cup runs 6–9 November in Abu Dhabi, with a four-team format feeding into Sunday’s final. Organisers list Al Ahly, Zamalek, Pyramids and Ceramica Cleopatra among the headline contenders, with semi-finals deciding the finalists ahead of the showpiece. For match-day planning, the final’s 7:30 PM start follows the tournament pattern of evening fixtures to optimise fan access and TV windows.

Inside the venue: what MBZ Stadium offers supporters

Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium—home of Al Jazira Club—is one of the UAE’s premier football venues, known for a steep seating rake and excellent sightlines around a FIFA-standard natural-grass pitch. The club lists capacity at approximately 37,000 seats, with the bowl configuration regularly used for major finals and international tournaments. Expect multiple concourse entry points, dedicated family areas, prayer rooms and a robust F&B footprint designed for big-match flows.

Getting there from Dubai and around Abu Dhabi

If you’re traveling from Dubai on public transport, the RTA runs frequent intercity buses to Abu Dhabi Central (E100 from Al Ghubaiba and E101 from Ibn Battuta). From Abu Dhabi Central Bus Station, DARB route 111 connects directly toward Al Jazeera Sports Club on Sultan Bin Zayed Street, a short walk from stadium gates—an easy, low-cost option if you’d rather avoid match-night traffic. Ride-hailing and taxis remain the most direct door-to-door choice; allow extra time approaching the Al Nahyan district as pre-game volumes build.

Gates, seating and on-site services

Tournament guidance indicates gates will open from 5:30 PM, with the match scheduled at 7:30 PM. Plan to arrive on the early side if you’re targeting centre-line or lower-tier views; big-game nights at MBZ Stadium traditionally see swift lines but steady queues at the most popular concession clusters just before kick-off and during halftime. Family sections and accessible seating are signposted on concourses, and stewarding levels are scaled up for finals to keep entry and exit swift.

Weather and what to wear

The forecast for Sunday evening trends warm and mostly clear: around 29°C near sunset, easing to 28°C at 8:00 PM and about 27°C by 9:00 PM. Breathable fabrics and comfortable footwear are smart picks for concourse movement and celebratory walks post-match. Hydration is easy to manage inside the stadium, but a light extra layer can help later if you’re lingering for photos or trophy celebrations.

Who’s staging the final and how to follow

The event is organised by the UAE Pro League in collaboration with the UAE and Egyptian Football Associations, the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, and Sports United—part of a broader strategy to host marquee regional football in world-class UAE venues. Official listings confirm Sunday’s final slot and entertainment build-up; broadcasters and digital channels typically ramp coverage from team arrivals through the trophy lift.

Why this final matters for regional football

Beyond the silverware, the Abu Dhabi edition underscores the UAE’s role as a neutral, fan-friendly stage for headline Egyptian fixtures—pairing a travel-accessible schedule with a stadium engineered for big-game theatre. With a prime evening kick-off, upgraded crowd operations, and a field of giants chasing bragging rights, the 2025 final at Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium promises a night worthy of its billing.
