“Despite securing the title early, the game against Zamalek has special preparations for the players, technical staff and fans, so I look forward to introducing a superb performance during the game.”

“All Ahly players are fit for the game against Zamalek, and we will do our best to finish the season with a high performance to please the team’s supporters,” El-Badry said. Source: Ahram online sports
