Two Big Egyptian league Matches Move Because Of Mohammed Salah

The popularity that Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah enjoys in his home country has once again been highlighted as two big Egyptian Premier League fixtures have been moved due to his nomination for PFA Player of the Season.

With fans wanting to watch Sunday’s awards ceremony, at which the 25-year-old is a favourite to claim the gong, the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) decided to shift a couple of major matches in order for supporters all over the country to watch the event.

Al-Ahly’s fixture against PetroJet and El-Zamalek’s match against Al-Asuity were due to be played at 18:00 and 20:30 respectively on Sunday, but the latter would have clashed with Salah’s big moment.

Consequently, the first match has been moved forwards by 15 minutes to allow the latter to be played earlier at 20:00.
