The Egyptian Professional Clubs Association announced that the start of the new version of the Premier League will be on its specified date on August 8, without any intention to present or postpone, with the approval of a new system for the competition with the participation of 21 teams for the first time in the history of the Egyptian League.
The championship draw within days
The League revealed that the league draw will be withdrawn from 20 to 25 July, with the deadline for the final date to be determined and the clubs formally informed in the coming hours. The move comes within the framework of early preparations to ensure an organized start for the new season.
Coordination with the African Union
The league dates were determined after a comprehensive study of the dates of the new version of the African Champions League and Confederation Championships, in addition to the Intercontinental Cup, in which Pyramids participates as a representative of the Egyptian football. Coordination was also made with the technical staff of the national team led by Hossam Hassan to organize the international stopping periods to serve the plans to prepare the team without harming local competitions.
A new system for the competition
The new season is witnessing an innovative system that is applied for the first time, as the first stage of the competition is held in the league system from one round, and after its end, the teams are divided into two groups:
• Co -Group: The higher teams include and compete for the title of championship and qualifying centers for continental championships.
• Landing Group: The least arranged teams include and compete to stay in the Premier League.
This change comes as a result of the decision to cancel the decline last season, which raised the number of participating teams to 21 clubs.
The goal of the organization and justice
The Clubs Association confirmed that maintaining the start of the tournament on August 8 aims to end the competition at an appropriate time, ensuring the club’s readiness before the launch of the continental participation and the dates of the national team. The association also seeks to organize a more regular and fair season, which enhances the image of the Egyptian league locally and internationally.
