Background Pyramids entered the final as the defending champions, having won the competition for the first time in their history the previous season. Their rise in domestic football had been mirrored by continental success as well; earlier in 2025, Pyramids clinched their first-ever CAF Champions League title, marking a historic milestone for the club.
In contrast, Zamalek, one of Egypt's most decorated teams, were aiming to reclaim the domestic cup title and continue their tradition of cup success. The final also marked a rematch of the 2019 final, where Zamalek had emerged victorious 3–0 against Pyramids.
Notably, Fiston Mayele, the top scorer for Pyramids during the cup run and continental campaign, was absent from the squad due to international duty with the DR Congo national team for the upcoming friendly matches.
