Pyramids FC have taken a giant leap in African club football, clinching their first-ever TotalEnergies CAF Super Cup title with a 1-0 victory over Morocco’s RS Berkane at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo, Egypt, on Saturday.
The decisive blow came in the 75th minute, with Congolese forward Fiston Mayele securing the historic triumph for the Egyptian side.
The victory adds to Pyramids’ late-emerging continental pedigree after they won the CAF Champions League earlier this year.
Beyond the trophy itself, the win signals a shift in the African club-football landscape. Pyramids’ management, backed by heavy investment and ambitious planning, now look to position the club not just as domestic challengers but as genuine continental heavyweights.
RS Berkane were unable to convert a strong showing into silverware. The team pushed hard but were undone by a resilient Pyramids defence led by the likes of Ahmed Sami and Mahmoud Marei, and an inspired performance from goalkeeper Ahmed El Shenawy.
With the Super Cup win, Pyramids now gain entry into the upcoming Intercontinental Cup in Qatar later this year, placing them on a global stage and opening commercial and playing opportunities that few African clubs enjoy.
The win also injects pressure on Egypt’s domestic giants, Al Ahly and Zamalek, as Pyramids seek to upend the established order not just domestically but continent-wide.
