Al Ahly and Raja Casablanca train ahead of CAF Super Cup showdown

Al Ahly of Egypt and Morocco's Raja Casablanca staged light training sessions in Al Rayyan, Qatar, on Tuesday, on the eve of their CAF Super Cup showdown at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium.

It will be the 30th edition of the showpiece event between the winners of the 2020-21 CAF Champions League and the 2020-21 CAF Confederation Cup winners.

Al Ahly, the Champions League winners, will go into the game as favourites, not least because of their greater pedigree in the competition.

They have been victorious a record seven times, and are the holders after they beat RS Berkane of Morocco, 2-0 in Doha in May - that match was delayed from August the previous year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Raja Casablanca, the current Moroccan champions, have won the CAF Super Cup twice in their history - in 2000 and 2019.
