Al-Ahly Absent from the Zamalek Match in Cairo

As a result of the team's withdrawal "Al-Ahli" from the match against "Zamalek" at Cairo's arena, referee Mahmoud Baisouni decided to end the game.

The reason for this was a showdown that occurred before the match. "Al-Ahli" refused to take the field due to violations of safety regulations at Cairo's arena. The football players expressed their dissatisfaction and demanded to change the venue of the match.

Representatives of the "Al-Ahli" club stated that incidents at the stadium put players' and referees' safety at risk. Nonetheless, even after the intervention of law enforcement agencies, the situation remained unresolved, leading to the conclusion of the match.

Thus, the game ended without being played, and there is currently no information on any further actions by the judicial committee and the league administration.
