A total of 19,000 tickets have been sold for Egypt's Zamalek and South Africa's Orlando Pirates football match in the CAF Confederation Cup group stage, an Egyptian embassy official said.

The match will be played at South Africa's Mbombela Stadium on Saturday, embassy media adviser Ahmed Sharaf said.

Mbombela Stadium was one of the ten venues for the FIFA World Cup 2010, he said.

In this year’s edition of the Confederation Cup, Zamalek have lost only once. They have played seven games to date – five wins, one draw, one loss. During the same period they have scored an impressive 13 goals and only conceded five times.
