Al Ahly prepares to face ZED FC in Egyptian Premier League

Al Ahly SC is preparing to face ZED FC at Cairo International Stadium on Friday, August 28, 2026, as part of the second round of the Egyptian Premier League. Following a 3-2 victory over ENPPI in the opening round, Al Ahly seeks to maintain its momentum under Moroccan manager Hussein Ammouta.

In a notable squad announcement, Mohamed Magdy Afsha has been excluded from the lineup despite his recent performance in the previous match. Meanwhile, Ammouta has held private discussions with defender Achraf Dari, emphasizing his importance to the defensive line and urging him to maintain fitness and form following his return from a loan at Kalmar FF.

ZED FC enters the match looking for its first win of the season after a scoreless draw against Wadi Degla in the first round. The match is scheduled to kick off at 8:00 PM Cairo time and will be broadcast on ON Sport.
