The game was originally scheduled to be played at Bani Obeid; however, the EFA said on its website that the clash will be relocated to Mansoura for security measures.

It's expected that thousands will turn up for the game and EFA officials said that the Bani Obeid stadium isn’t facilitated to host such crowd.

Zamalek will be facing Bani Obeid on Friday at 13:30 o'clock, and the winner will be meeting Mansoura on the same ground in the second round.
