Al Ahly step up preparations with double training and fresh media focus

Al Ahly shifted gears today as Spanish coach José Riveiro pushed his players through a demanding double training session at Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium.

With no fixture in the third round of the Egyptian Premier League, the team is using the break to sharpen both fitness and tactics before facing El Mahalla next Monday in the fourth round.

The Reds are still riding high from their convincing 4-1 victory over Pharco in the second round, a result that gave Riveiro confidence to grant his men two days of rest. But the return to work came with intensity. The morning session focused on strength and conditioning in the gym, while the evening brought technical drills and higher physical loads under the coach’s direction.

The club also launched a new media system aimed at improving communication and coverage around the team, giving fans closer access to the squad’s journey this season. With extra preparation time and a fresh approach to connecting with supporters, Al Ahly are determined to stay ahead in their title chase.
