Seven Egyptian Premier League games at the weekend have been postponed, the FA announced on Thursday. Even though the Egyptian football government body named no reason for the decision, it is obvious that the state of national unrest is behind the alteration. Thousands of Egyptians across the nation expressed their disgruntlement against the government this week as the protests are expected to continue during the weekend. The situation, unprecedented during Hosni Mubarak's reign as president, was likely to have an effect on week 16, with five governorates meant to stage seven matches this weekend. Capital city Cairo was supposed to feature three games, including the week's main event between league holders Ahli and Police Union at Arab Contractors Stadium. Current leaders Zamalek had their game against Harras Hodoud rescheduled as the Whites travel to Kenya to face Ulinzi Stars in the CAF Champions League first round.
