TotalEnergies Super Cup Final – Moroccan Clubs Dominating The Continental Cup

The TotalEnergies Super Cup Final 2022 will be played on Saturday, 10 September 2022 at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, Rabat city, Morocco. The game will kick off at 20h00 local time/ 19h00 GMT/ 21h00 Cairo.

Coincidentally, the Super Cup Final will be played between two Moroccan clubs, Wydad Athletic Club – winners of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League and RS Berkane – TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup champions.

This will be Wydad’s fourth final, and they will go level with Raja Casablanca for the most Super Cup Final appearances for a Moroccan team.

Morocco has fielded the most clubs (6) in the finals of the Super Cup. Wydad Casablanca, Raja Casablanca, RS Berkane and Maghreb FEZ have all won the cup tournament. Meanwhile, FAR Rabat and FUS Rabat have both finished as runners up.

The first and last time two teams from the same country reached the finals of the CAF Super Cup Final was in 1994 at Soccer City in Johannesburg, South Africa, when Egyptian giants Zamalek and Cairo neighbors Al Ahly stormed the second addition of the cup final.

Zamalek, the 1993 African Club of Champions Club Winner picked up a narrow 1-0 win over city rivals Al Ahly, the 1993 African Cup Winners Cup Champions, courtesy of Ayman Mansour’s 86th minute winning goal.

Egypt’s Al Ahly are the record champions of the Super Cup, having won it eight (8) times.

Morocco’s Rabat becoming a football city
Fresh from hosting the successful TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, Rabat will also will host the 2022 edition of the TotalEnergies Super Cup slated for Saturday, 10 September 2022.

Rabat is the  capital city of Morocco and one of the country’s four imperial cities and the seventh largest city with an urban population of approximately 580,000 (2014) and a metropolitan population of over 1.2 million.

Rabat is located on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg, opposite Salé, the city’s main commuter town.

The name Rabat comes from the Arabic word meaning the ribat, an Islamic base or fortification. This name is short for (Ribâtu l-Feth) meaning the ribat of conquest or stronghold of victory—a title given by the Almohads when they established the city as a naval base in 1170.
