The two sides did meet in the group stage phase last season, with Sundowns claiming a 1-0 win in Cairo while the second fixture ended goalless in Pretoria.
“We are very happy to be here as a club, as a team,” Elgabas said, as per CAF Online.
“It’s a big achievement to play the most important game in Africa. The CAF Champions League final is the biggest team game on the continent.
"That’s something we worked hard for as a team and as a club.
“We know we are playing against a big opponent. Sundowns are a very good team, but we have experience in a competition like this. We played them last year, so I think the book is open between us.
"We know how they play and I think they know how we play. We are ready for the game tomorrow."
