Al Ahly Withdraws from Cairo Derby Match

Several world newspapers described the news about the withdrawal of the Egyptian club "Al-Ahli" from the match number 130 against its traditional rival "Zamalek"...

Al-Ahli announced its decision to refuse to participate in the game due to disagreement with the decision made by the judicial composition. The president of the club noted that the team could not present itself in the match, which should have taken place at the "Cairo" stadium due to unjust decisions of the arbitrators.

"We had some discussions with the league administration about our problems related to the judges' decisions in the last matches, but without result," added the president of the club. Al-Ahli expressed hope that their decision would be understood and accepted with empathy.
