This is Tau’s third consecutive Caf Champions League final with Ahly, having finished as runners up to Wydad Casablanca in the 2021/22 season, before turning the tables on Wydad in last year’s final.

Footballer of the Year

The ‘Lion of Judah’ was recently named as the men’s Footballer of the Year at the inaugural Cosafa Awards, after playing a starring role in Ahly’s Champions League triumph, and after helping them to third place at last year’s Fifa Club World Cup.
