Zamalek was crowned champion of the Egyptian Premier League for the 15th time in its history with a 1-0 victory over Ceramica Cleopatra in the final round of the coronation group on Wednesday.
Zamalek needed only one point to clinch the title, regardless of the results of the Al-Ahly matches against Al-Masry of Port Said and Pyramids against Smouha.

But he concluded his league campaign with a victory thanks to a goal by Uday Al-Dabbagh at the beginning of the first half, while Ceramica missed a penalty kick after the break.
With this result, Zamalek ends the league with 56 points, two points ahead of Pyramids, second in the standings, which secured qualification for the African Champions League next season after its 2-1 victory over its guest, Smouha.
The ranking shocked Al-Ahly fans because it finished in third place to qualify for the African Confederation Cup, meaning that the record holder in the Champions League will not participate in the first continental championship for African clubs.
His score became 53 points after a 2-0 victory over his host Al-Masry. Al-Ahly played most of the match with ten players after Yassin was sent off in the 38th minute.
In the third match, Pyramids won 2-1 over Smouha, but failed to achieve their dream of winning the Egyptian League.
