The Egyptian FA decided to extend the Egyptian Premier League break for an indefinite period in the wake of Egypt's seventh Nations Cup triumph. The competition was due to be resumed on Thursday, but the FA want to give the Egyptian internationals an extra rest period. There will also be a massive celebration of the Pharaohs' third successive CAN title within the next few days, the governing body announced. Egypt won the biennial tournament on Sunday after beating Ghana 1-0 in the final.
