^As a result of Zamalek refusing to play their away fixture against Al Ahly on 24 February 2020, the club was subject to a 3-point deduction following the conclusion of the season.[1]
Pyramids entered the competition from the round of 32 and were given a home tie against Egyptian Second Division side Nogoom.[3] The bracket of the tournament was also decided at the time of the round of 32 draw; meaning that the path to the final for each time was decided prior to playing any matches. Also, all matches are played on stadiums selected by the Egyptian Football Association starting from the round of 16.
Pyramids entered the competition for the first time in their history after finishing 3rd in the previous season of the league. Since it was the club's first appearance, Pyramids entered the competition from the preliminary round.
The draw for the first round was held on 21 July 2019 (after the preliminary round draw). Pyramids were drawn against the winner of the tie involving CR Belouizdad from Algeria and AS CotonTchad from Chad, which was won by the former.[4]
The draw for the play-off round was held on 9 October 2019. Pyramids were drawn against Young Africans from Tanzania, who were transferred to the CAF Confederation Cup from the CAF Champions League after losing their tie in the first round.[5]
^All Egyptian Premier League fixtures scheduled to be played between 23 October and 22 November 2019 were postponed due to Egypt U-23 team's involvement in the 2019 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations.
