The 2024 CAF Super Cup, known as The Super of the Century,^[3] officially TotalEnergies CAF Super Cup Riyadh 2024 for sponsorship reasons,^[4] was the 33rd CAF Super Cup, an annual football match in Africa organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), between the winners of the previous season's two CAF club competitions, the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup.

The match was played between the 2023–24 CAF Champions League winners, Al Ahly, and the 2023–24 CAF Confederation Cup winners, Zamalek, both from Egypt and both sides of the Cairo derby, on 27 September 2024 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.^[5]

Zamalek won the match 4–3 on penalties, after the original time ended 1–1, to secure their fifth CAF Super Cup title.^[6] The match was the third continental encounter between two Egyptian clubs, and the second in a Super Cup.

The match set numerous records. This was Zamalek's fifth title, all of which came against opponents from the UNAF region. Zamalek also became the first CAF Confederation Cup representative to win the competition more than once. Additionally, for the first time in CAF Super Cup history, a team from the CAF Confederation Cup won three consecutive editions. Meanwhile, Al Ahly tied Espérance de Tunis's record of losing two consecutive CAF Super Cups after winning the CAF Champions League; Espérance lost the 2019 and 2020 editions to Raja CA and Zamalek, respectively, while Al Ahly lost the previous edition to USM Alger.
