In a remarkable development in Egyptian football, Pyramids FC has etched its name among Africa's elite by clinching the African Champions League title for the first time in its history on June 1, 2025. They defeated South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns with a score of two to one in the return leg, achieving a historic victory with an aggregate score of 3-2 in the final held at Cairo's 30 June Stadium. This achievement marks a significant milestone for a club established just two decades ago, highlighting a rare accomplishment among Egyptian clubs other than the legendary Al Ahly and Zamalek.

Moreover, Pyramids went on to secure the African Super Cup, winning against Morocco's Renaissance Berkane with a slim margin of one goal to nil, signaling their emergence as a new powerhouse in the region. Amidst the ongoing 2025-2026 local season, the dynamics of Egyptian football appear to be shifting drastically, paving the way for greater competition. The narrative so far has been that Pyramids is monopolizing top positions in the league, challenging the historical supremacy of Zamalek and Al Ahly, clubs known for their deep-rooted legacy and consistent performance in Egyptian and African football.

As the season progresses, Pyramids' structural shifts within the league table over the past three seasons suggest a redefining moment for Egyptian football, where investment clubs could potentially disrupt the traditional hierarchy. This evolving landscape may not only fuel rivalries but also impact the financial and operational strategies of the long-standing giants, Al Ahly and Zamalek, urging them to adapt to the new competitive environment introduced by financially robust clubs like Pyramids.
