Cairo El Clasico controversy: Is the Nile League at risk?
Al Ahly club is still holding on to its demands regarding the big match with Zamalek in the Egyptian league, which was recently canceled.
Al Ahly officially stated that they want the match to be held with a foreign referee to ensure fairness between the competing clubs. The club warned that the league may not continue if this condition is not met.
It seems that the Egyptian Football Association has not been able to manage this crisis effectively. The president of the association, Hany Abou Rida, has been busy with elections for the African and international federations, which has affected his ability to make the right decisions.
Additionally, there is a mysterious role for Ahmed Megahid, the former head of the committee, who still has strong influence over football matters, complicating the situation further.
Under these tense circumstances, the Egyptian league may not continue if a solution is not found for the crisis of the match between Al Ahly and Zamalek. This situation raises concerns about the future of the national competition.
