Al Ahly’s squad returned to Cairo on Thursday morning after completing an overseas training camp in Spain. The camp formed part of the club’s preparations for the start of the new domestic season.
Their final fixture in Spain was a historic meeting with Barcelona in the Joan Gamper Trophy at Camp Nou. Barcelona won that match 2-1, giving the Catalan side victory in Al Ahly’s concluding pre-season test.
Al Ahly will now turn their attention to domestic competition as they look to collect three points in their first league fixture of the campaign. The club will hope the experience gained during its preparations, including the high-profile meeting with Barcelona, can provide a strong platform for the season ahead.
Eastern Company ENPPI, meanwhile, will attempt to produce a positive result against one of Egyptian football’s biggest clubs. The visitors face a difficult opening assignment at Cairo International Stadium but will be aiming to frustrate Al Ahly and begin the campaign with points.
The fixture is one of the first opportunities for both teams to assess their readiness for the new Egyptian Premier League season in a competitive setting. Al Ahly will be expected to push for victory on home territory, while Eastern Company ENPPI will seek to take advantage of any weaknesses in their opponents’ opening-day performance.
