League to resume after authorities approval
The Egyptian FA was given the green light to restart the Premier
League competition on the 13th of April despite the recent controversy.The domestic league, which has been put on hold for over two months in
the wake of the January 25 Revolution, was initially set to be resumed
by mid-April.But the unexpected chaos that marred Zamalek’s home Champions League
clash with Club Africain on Saturday forced the FA to announce
postponing the competition once again.More doubts were raised when Egyptian Prime Minister Essam Sharaf said he would prefer to have the season called off completely.However, Egyptian FA chairman Samir Zaher and Supreme Council of Sports
chief Hassan Sakr managed to win the approval of the authorities for
resuming the season.No exceptions
Zaher confirms season restart
“There was a meeting with Mr. Sakr and Mr. Sharaf on Tuesday and we have
got an approval from the authorities to restart the competition,” Zaher
told FilGoal.com.“There will be no exceptional procedures and fans will be allowed to attend games normally.“We still have to discuss the matter with clubs though because all
league contestants should agree on the resumption. Annulling relegation
will also be discussed with clubs.”Bottom clubs Ittihad, Arab Contractors and Smouha conditioned their
acceptance to resume the competition with canceling relegation this
season.On the other hand, the likes of Gouna and Wadi Degla opposed resuming matches at all ‘due to lack of security’.
