Al Ahly request foreign referees for Pyramids FC clash

Al Ahly have requested foreign referees for their Egyptian Premier League encounter against Pyramids FC on 23 November 2026.

The Egyptian giants are seeking officials from outside the country to oversee the highly anticipated fixture, which is expected to attract significant attention given the stature of both clubs in Egyptian football.

The request comes ahead of a meeting between two of the country’s leading sides, with both clubs expected to approach the contest with the aim of securing a crucial result in their league campaign.

Al Ahly, one of Africa’s most successful clubs, have enjoyed decades of domestic and continental success, while Pyramids FC have emerged as serious challengers for major honours in Egyptian football in recent years.

The November encounter is therefore expected to be closely watched, with the appointment of match officials likely to be an important issue in the build-up to the fixture.

However, further details about the request, including whether the Egyptian Football Association has approved it and which country’s referees could be appointed, have yet to be confirmed.

The match is scheduled for 23 November 2026 as the two sides prepare to renew their rivalry in the Egyptian Premier League.
