Borg El Arab Stadium was selected on 14 August 2024 by the Egyptian Football Association to host the final.[18]
The stadium was opened in 2009, and has since been one of the home venues of the Egypt national football team. It was one of the venues of the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, and was included in Egypt's bid to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup. It hosted the CAF Champions League final on four occasions, most recently in 2018, when it hosted the first leg between Al Ahly and Espérance de Tunis.
Domestically, the stadium hosts all matches involving Al Masry, due to security concerns since the Port Said Stadium riot occurred in 2012, and due to their home stadium being under construction, alongside selected matches in the Egyptian Premier League. The 2023 Egyptian League Cup final was played on the stadiums, alongside three editions of the Egyptian Super Cup, most recently in 2021.
The finals of five consecutive editions of the Egypt Cup were previously held at Borg El Arab Stadium between 2016 and 2020.
Officials
The match officials for the final were announced by the Egyptian Football Association on 28 August 2024.[1] Ahmed El Ghandour was selected as the main official, with Mahmoud Abou El Regal and Samir Gamal as the assistant referees, Mahmoud Nagy as the fourth official, and Sherif Abdallah as the reserve assistant referee. Mahmoud Bassiouny was selected as the video assistant referee, and Mohamed Youssef and Osama El Sayed were selected as the assistant video assistant referee and the support video assistant referee, respectively.
