After lifting their record 11th CAF Champions League title, which was accompanied by being Egyptian Premier League and Egyptian Cup champions, Africa’s most successful football was duly rewarded by CAF for their continued excellence in flying the Africa football flag high.
The last time Al Ahly won the accolade was exactly a decade ago when they won it in 2013.
This year’s accolade marks the sixth time that the Egyptian giants are crowned the best club of the year at the CAF Awards, which sees them extend their record as the club with the most CAF Club of the Year awards.
Ahly’s award is coupled with Percy Tau’s accolade of being awarded CAF Interclub Player of the year.
