Cairo - Arab Today
Ahly coach Mohamed Youssef has expressed satisfaction with Monday's draw for the next Egyptian Premier League season. "The draw is balanced and all 22 teams have been separated over the two groups in a good way," Youssef told the club's official website. The Cairo-based club has avoided all the Suez Canal and army-owned clubs. There must be coordination with the security authorities before we learn when the new season will start and whether fans will be able to attend matches, he added. Egypt has cancelled two successive seasons due to security concerns. Ahly holds a record of 36 Premier League trophies. They won the last seven successive tournaments.
