Due to a lack of finance, Ismaili have decided to cancel their preparation camp in Alexandria ahead of Ahli clash in Egyptian Cup semi-final and to keep training on their ground in Ismailia. "I wanted to take the players away of the supporters' pressure during these days but we had no choice as there are no funds to finance the preparation camp," said Patrice Neveu to FilGoal.com "It will be a very tough game and I hope to get my players ready for it to go through Ahli and reach the final,” added the French tactician. Ismaili, who were the only team to beat Ahli twice this season, will face the Red Devils on June 28th in Cairo Stadium. Otherwise Chairman Yehia Al-Qumi revealed that the club will opt for the Arab Champions League and drop the CAF Cup next year as they need money.
