Egyptian Premier League club Wadi Degla have taken an uncommon stance against the resumption of domestic football amid endless controversy on the issue. Several parties involved in the game are set to demonstrate before the Sports Ministry to put pressure on authorities after the FA had earlier announced an indefinite postponement to the league season. However, Cairo club Degla have acted in an opposite manner to almost every top-flight club as they banned players and staff from taking part in any protests calling for the league resumption. “The club management has banned any participation from players or staff members who represent the club in the protests that aim to force authorities to resume football activity, as the club stand against resuming any sporting activity without having the required safe environment and facilities for it," the statement read. Domestic football in Egypt has been disrupted since February's Port-Said disaster, which left over 70 Ahli fans dead after a league game at Masri. Degla were the first to come up with the idea of adding the no.74 to the team's jerseys in honor of the slain supporters, as Ahli followed suit a day later. The major hurdle to the league recommencement is well understood to be the Ultras Ahlawy flat refusal to restart the league before ‘justice is served' for their killed comrades.
