SCAF head, new PM promised to resume Egyptian football: EFA spokesman
Azmy Megahed confirms that the new season will begin in August as announced, after he spoke with new prime minister and Field Marshal Tantawi head during a funeral

The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) spokesman Azmy Megahed has confirmed that the domestic competitions will be resumed in August.
“I have met the new Prime Minister Hisham Qandil and the Field Marshal Moahmed Hussien Tantawi, head of the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, during his brother's funeral and they confirmed that the army is committed to the agreed schedules and will secure the stadiums as the matches will be held without fans,” Azmy Megahed told Al-Ahram.
The EFA have announced last week that "Football activity will be resumed behind closed-doors. The season will begin with the Super Cup on 26 August, then the Premier League will kick off on 7 September."
The decision taken by the EFA interim chief Anwar Saleh and the top flight officials reverses the interior ministry's decision not to resume football activity in Egypt for security reasons.
Egyptian football officials hope to give a lifeline to Egyptian clubs who have been in deep technical and financial crises since the suspension of all football activities after the Port Said disaster last February, when more than 70 were left dead and hundreds of injured in post-match violence.
