Ismaili have submitted an official request to the Egyptian FA, demanding postponing their game against Suez cement in the league on Thursday due to their Arab Champions League (ACL) calendar, the club said. They are set to play Ahli Bordj of Algeria on Monday and return to Egypt just 48 hours before the Suez match. "It is not possible to play after two days from the arrival time," Ismaili vice chairman Ibrahim Ashour said. "We want to be treated like Ahli who had several matches postponed for their African campaign because we represent Egypt as well." African champions Ahli had four matches postponed so far and some more games are due to be rescheduled for their World Club Championship in Japan.
