The Ultras insisted on their rejection of league resumption by storming the Egyptian football association headquarters on Wednesday 5 September, just one day after the Egyptian Football Association announced the new season could start mid-month. The group stormed Ahly's Headquarters in Guezira and Madinet Nasr a total of three times. Under pressure, the EFA officials and the Sports minister postponed the new season till 17 October but this was also rejected by the Ultras.
