Newly-hired Egyptian FA chief Gamal Allam is confident that the 'wise' Ultras Ahlawy fans will cooperate as the association looks forward to resuming domestic activity. Allam spoke of his objective to reunite all parties involved in the game, including the die-hard ultras who stand firm against the league resumption before ‘justice is delivered' for the Port-Said victims. “My aim is to unify all parties and bring things back to normal in the upcoming period as we look forward to start with the lower divisions then the top-flight, " he told the FA's website. “I think things will get better; I trust the wise ultras fans who love their country as all Egyptians do." Ahli's ultras, who witnessed the deaths of some 74 members of their fan-group in Port-Said last February, were involved in several controversial incidents during the past two months as they vehemently refuse the recommencement of domestic football. They stormed the FA's headquarters ahead of last month's Super Cup game, the first domestic fixture following the deadly Port-Said disaster, few days after invading Ahli's training ground in protest over restarting football. It is widely believed that the ultras threats played a major role in the FA's reluctance to resume the domestic league, which was postponed indefinitely last week.
