Al -Ahly requests to postpone the Egyptian summit and threaten not to complete the league

Al -Ahly, the Egyptian Premier League champion, asked today, Tuesday, to postpone the summit match against Zamalek, which is scheduled later today, and threatens not to complete the tournament.

Al -Ahly’s request to appoint foreign referees for the match came after the federation was appointed by an Egyptian referees team to manage the match, consisting of the international Mahmoud Bassiouni as a referee for the square, along with the two internationals, Ahmed Tawfiq Taha, a first assistant, Sami Halhal, a second assistant, and the international Hamada Al -Qalawi as a fourth referee, in the video room Ahmed Al -Ghandour, and was assisted by the duo Muhammad Al -Shennawi and Hani Abdel -Fattah.
