The Cairo giants have faced Zamalek SC and Masandawana recently and will again play the Brazilians and RS Berkane in the upcoming days
Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane is unfazed by and has accepted the “big club status” as well as the responsibility of being involved in taxing fixtures inside a crammed schedule.
Inside a punishing 18-day fixture schedule, Al Ahly have already been held 1-1 by Zamalek in the Egyptian Premier League and beat Mamelodi Sundowns 2-0 in a Caf Champions League quarter-final, first-leg match.
They are due to face Sundowns in the return leg on Saturday and then resume league duties against Ceramica Cleopatra on Tuesday before travelling to Doha for Friday's Caf Super Cup showdown against RS Berkane.
