The Egyptian FA agreed to change the venue of Zamalek's home league game with Ittihad, and now it's taking place at Military Academy Stadium. The match was originally arranged to be held at Arab Contractors Stadium, but the White Knights asked to face the Alexandrian side at Military Academy instead. Arab Contractors' bad pitch was the reason why the Cairo giants called for another venue, according to Zamalek's spokesman Sabri Serag. Thursday's game will be Zamalek's first meeting under the management of Henri Michel, after his reappointment as head coach last month. The Egyptian Premier League was halted for around two weeks as a result of Egypt's World Cup qualifier with Rwanda last weekend.
