The Egyptian Championship, already delayed by a month to September, has once again been suspended until further notice. The Football Association cited concerns about inadequate security in stadiums, emphasizing that necessary authorizations from the Ministry of the Interior for match security were still unavailable.
This decision aligns with the demands of Egyptian ultras, who have been calling for the suspension of the Championship until those responsible for the tragic incident in Port Said, where 70 people died after a match in February, have been held accountable and punished. The ongoing safety concerns and the absence of required authorizations from the Ministry of the Interior led to the decision to suspend the championship indefinitely.
