The 2022–23 Egyptian Premier League season had that familiar Egyptian football feel: long stretches of momentum, sudden schedule squeezes, and then a finish where the table finally looked “clean” on paper. The headline is simple: Al Ahly won the league, Pyramids pushed hard for long spells, and the bottom three paid the price in a relegation fight that stayed uncomfortable until the end. The final 2022–23 Egyptian Premier League standings also tell you something else: consistency mattered more than short hot streaks this year.
Egyptian Premier League 22/23 Season Overview
The league ran with 18 clubs playing a double round robin, so each team played 34 matches home and away, and that gives you a full 306-match calendar when everything is completed. The season began on 18 October 2022 and wrapped on 26 July 2023, with fixtures announced in early October.
How the competition “works” in real terms:
- Champion: the club with the most points over 34 matches.
- Relegation: the bottom three teams go down.
- Continental qualification (CAF): Egypt’s slots feed into the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup, but in this season there was an important administrative detail linked to cup timing.
Tiebreakers can shape the Egyptian Premier League table 2022 when points are level. The league’s published order starts with points, then head to head criteria, then overall goal difference and goals scored. That matters because a couple of teams finished level on points at the bottom.
Domestic cups sit alongside the league calendar in Egypt: the Egypt Cup (knockout) and the Egyptian Super Cup (usually a one-off between key winners) exist as separate trophies. In 2022–23, cup scheduling ended up influencing who took a continental slot, which I will break down below.
Final Egyptian Premier League Standings Breakdown 22/23
The full 2022–23 Egyptian Premier League standings are below. Every club played 34 matches.
| Rank | Team | Points | GD | GF | GA | W | D | L | P |

| 10 | Smouha | 42 | -7 | 36 | 43 | 10 | 12 | 12 | 34 |
| 11 | Ismaily | 40 | -3 | 35 | 38 | 9 | 13 | 12 | 34 |
| 12 | National Bank of Egypt | 39 | -5 | 35 | 40 | 9 | 12 | 13 | 34 |
| 13 | Ceramica Cleopatra | 37 | -1 | 31 | 32 | 7 | 16 | 11 | 34 |
| 14 | Tala’ea El Gaish | 36 | -12 | 33 | 45 | 8 | 12 | 14 | 34 |
| 15 | El Dakhleya | 35 | -11 | 32 | 43 | 7 | 14 | 13 | 34 |
| 16 | Aswan | 33 | -14 | 31 | 45 | 8 | 9 | 17 | 34 |
| 17 | Ghazl El Mahalla | 33 | -21 | 26 | 47 | 8 | 9 | 17 | 34 |
| 18 | Haras El Hodoud | 25 | -24 | 21 | 45 | 5 | 10 | 19 | 34 |
A quick guide to what the columns mean (because people mix them up when scanning fast):
- P: matches played
- W/D/L: wins, draws, losses
- GF/GA: goals for and goals against
- GD: goal difference (GF minus GA)
- Points: 3 for a win, 1 for a draw
The cleanest “table story” is at the very bottom: Aswan and Ghazl El Mahalla finished level on 33 points, but Aswan stayed above because their goal difference was better (minus 14 vs minus 21). In a league where one bad month can wreck your numbers, that single stat line mattered.
Egyptian Premier League Champion 22/23
Al Ahly were champions, and the numbers back it up without any drama: 83 points, 25 wins, only one defeat, and a wild defensive record of 13 goals conceded all season.
They officially secured the title on 10 July 2023, and what’s really telling is how early it became inevitable: Al Ahly clinched after 29 matches with 75 points, so they did the hard work before the league even reached the final stretch.
- Clinched after match 29 with 75 points on 10 July 2023.
- For context, the previous season’s champion Zamalek finished on 77 points in 2021–22, so Al Ahly’s title-winning pace in 2022–23 was right in that elite range, then they pushed it higher by the end (83).
- The season data highlights Al Ahly’s ability to stack results without wobbling: a longest unbeaten run of 32 matches and a longest winning run of 6. Those are “title habits”, not just highlights.
- Even without listing every “six pointer”, the table shows the pressure points: Pyramids were strong (73 points), but they could not match Al Ahly’s week-to-week control.
- Defense first, always: 13 conceded across 34 matches is a cheat code in any league.
- They traveled like champions: the away-table has Al Ahly ranked first with 42 away points. That’s usually where title dreams die, and they treated away days like business trips.
- Mentality in numbers: 1 loss all season is not luck, it is structure plus depth plus game management.
Results of Qualification for the International Arena
Egypt’s league places feed into CAF competitions, and for 2022–23 the qualifiers were:
- CAF Champions League: Al Ahly (champions) and Pyramids (runners-up).
- CAF Confederation Cup: Zamalek (3rd) and Future (4th).
The reason 4th place mattered is spelled out in the season notes: because the Egypt Cup was not finished on time, the league’s 4th-place team took the Confederation Cup slot for CAF registration purposes. That is the kind of detail that confuses people comparing “final placement” with “who actually went to Africa”, so it’s worth stating plainly.
Relegation Zone Results
Three clubs went down:
- Aswan (16th, 33 points)
- Ghazl El Mahalla (17th, 33 points)
- Haras El Hodoud (18th, 25 points)
A couple of quick takeaways that explain the shape of the drop:
Aswan, Ghazl El Mahalla, Haras El Hodoud.
The “safe line” was El Dakhleya on 35, so Aswan and Mahalla were just two points short. Haras were adrift at 25.
When two teams finish level on points like Aswan and Mahalla, it usually means one draw turned into a loss somewhere, or a late concession flipped goal difference. Here, goal difference separated them, and Mahalla’s was the worst of the two (minus 21).
Team Statistics Summary
Here’s a practical stat snapshot pulled from the final table, plus the home and away splits.
Best team marks (the good stuff):
- Most wins: Al Ahly (25).
- Most goals scored: Al Ahly (63).
- Fewest goals conceded: Al Ahly (13).
- Best home team: Pyramids (home record 14 wins, 3 draws, 0 losses; 45 home points).
- Best away team: Al Ahly (away table leaders with 42 away points).
Worst team marks (where it went wrong):
- Fewest wins: Haras El Hodoud (5).
- Fewest goals scored: Haras El Hodoud (21).
- Most goals conceded: Ghazl El Mahalla (47).
- Worst home team: El Dakhleya (14 home points).
- Worst away team: Haras El Hodoud (8 away points).
This is why the Egyptian Premier League 2022-23 table “feels” so logical. Al Ahly did not just win, they won in every sub-category that usually decides titles: defense, away form, and consistency.
Egyptian Premier League Players Stats 2022/2023
If you want the fast version of Egyptian Premier League top scorers 2022/23, start here: Christopher Mabululu finished as the league’s leading scorer with 16 goals.
Christopher Mabululu (Al Ittihad): 16 goals, top of the scoring list.
Mohamed El Shenawy (Al Ahly) was named Goalkeeper of the Season.
Mohamed Abdelmonem (Al Ahly) won Defender of the Season.
Marwan Attia (Al Ahly) won Midfielder of the Season.
The league’s Striker of the Season award went to Mabululu, which lines up neatly with the scoring chart.
Marcel Koller (Al Ahly) won Manager of the Season.
Ahmed Khaled (Kabaka), born in 2005, is already in the professional pipeline and is exactly the kind of profile Egyptian clubs keep pushing into senior minutes.
The official Team of the Season list (as published in the season awards section) leaned heavily toward Al Ahly, which makes sense when the champions finish with 83 points and one loss.
If you are mapping creative output too, the assists list was topped by Zizo with 13 assists, followed by Walid El-Kharti with 9, which helps explain why Zamalek stayed relevant even when the title slipped away.
Individual and Team Highlights
This season had a few moments that pop even if you only remember the table.
- Biggest home win: Pyramids 4–0 Ghazl El Mahalla (7 January 2023).
- Biggest away win: Tala’ea El Gaish 0–4 Zamalek (7 December 2022).
- Highest scoring games:
- Tala’ea El Gaish 3–4 Al Ittihad (27 February 2023)
- Smouha 4–3 El Dakhleya (9 April 2023)
- Pyramids 5–2 Smouha (28 June 2023)
- Best “form identity”: Al Ahly’s 32-match unbeaten run is basically a personality trait, and it explains why the 2022–23 Egyptian Premier League standings ended up with such a clear gap at the top.
- A hidden nomination like: “Most stubborn midtable team” goes to the clubs who drew a lot but refused to collapse. Future’s 13 draws and Al Mokawloon’s 17 draws are the kind of totals that keep you alive week after week.
If you are building bets around the Egyptian Premier League 2022/2023 season data, these highlight patterns matter: big wins existed, but the league was not a constant goal festival. Teams who could protect leads (or steal points away from home) usually landed above their budget.
