Most of these encounters took place in the Champions League, but the most unique chapter dates back to 1981, when both quarter-final matches were awarded to JSK (3-0 in the first leg, 3-0 in the second leg) in the special political context after the death of Anwar Sadat.
Most recently, Al Ahli made a statement in the first leg of the 2025-2026 group stage, winning 4-1 in Cairo. This Saturday in Tizi Ouzou, JSK will have the chance to restore balance in a historic showdown.
