Zamalek started their warm-ups, but no Al Ahly

As the clock ticked down and the Zamalek players made their way onto the pitch, fans filled the stands in anticipation. Zamalek was busy warming up and getting ready for the big match. But despite the growing buzz, there was one noticeable absence—the Al Ahly team.

The minutes passed by, and the match still hadn’t started. Fans were left wondering: Where is Al Ahly?

20 minutes of waiting that ended with the final whistle blow

As the waiting game continued, the referee kept an eye on the situation, hoping for Al Ahly’s arrival. But after a tense 20 minutes, the inevitable happened—the referee blew the final whistle. The match, which had yet to even begin, was called off, and the fans were left with a whirlwind of questions and confusion.

What went wrong?

Reports quickly surfaced suggesting that Al Ahly had raised objections over the officiating of the match. Word on the street is that they were unhappy with an Egyptian refereeing team being assigned to the game. This could very well explain their decision to not show up, leaving everyone on edge.

Where was the Al Ahly bus going?

As if things couldn’t get more mysterious, fans noticed the Al Ahly team bus heading in the wrong direction. Instead of taking the usual route to Cairo Stadium, the bus was spotted making its way towards Nasr City. This only fueled suspicions and raised more questions.

What happens next?

With the final whistle blown and the match postponed, the fate of this highly anticipated fixture is now in the hands of the Football Association and the Clubs Association. It’s unclear what actions they will take, but fans are eagerly awaiting any official updates.
