Zamalek claim Egyptian Premier League title after Pyramids falter

Zamalek have retained the Egyptian Premier League title they won last season after nearest challengers Pyramids lost 1-0 at home to Future FC on Monday night.

The title celebration will commence on Tuesday night when they take on Al-Ittihad in Matchday 32 of the season.

The Cairo giants, with 75 points, now lead second-placed Pyramids by an unassailable seven points with only two rounds of matches left.

This is Zamalek’s 14th title win since the league championship was launched in 1948. Only fierce local rival Al-Ahly, with a record 42 titles, have more.
