Since Al Ahly won the treble in the previous season (league, cup and CAF Champions League), Tala'ea El Gaish were awarded a spot in this season's super cup as the 2019–20 Egypt Cup runners-up. This was the last edition where the cup runners-up participate in the super cup if one team won the double in the previous season. Starting from the 2021–22 edition, the league runners-up would participate instead.[4]
Tala'ea El Gaish won the match 3–2 on penalties, after the original and extra time ended 0–0, winning their first-ever title in all professional competitions.[5]
