The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) announced on Thursday the opening fixtures for the 2017/18 Egyptian Premier League.
The draw of the new season, scheduled to kick off mid-September, was held at the EFA headquarters in the presence of club delegates and administrated by the head of the EFA’s competition committee Amer Hussein.
Title holders Al Ahly will face Tala’a El-Gaish, while Zamalek will play against Entag El-Harby in the first gameweek of the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Ismaily will be playing against Ittihad of Alexandria and ENPPI will clash with Smouha.
The Red Castle’s match against El-Gaish might be postponed as the Cairo giants will also be facing Espérance Sportive de Tunis in the quarter-final of the CAF Champions League at home between 15 and 17 September, before facing them a week later in Tunisia.
