Ahli have announced that Saturday's league opener with Olympic will not be broadcasted live on any TV channel. A statement on the club's official site stated that no first team games will be broadcasted live unless Ahli TV is given exclusive rights of home games. Ahli made an official request to the Egyptian FA to take exclusive rights of broadcasting league games, but the plea was rejected. However, the Reds still have the right not to broadcast league matches live on satellite or terrestrial channels.
