Ahli could play two friendly games against Shakhtar Donetsk and Zenit St. Petersburg next month after the meeting with Bayern Munich had been cancelled for a second time. The African champions said on their website that a one-week camp in Abu Dhabi should include the two friendlies on January 18 and 20. The squad will then fly to Spain to play another match with Primera Liga side Rayo Vallecano. Ahli were supposed to meet Bundesliga giants Bayern in Doha next month but the Qatar trip was called off. It remains to be seen whether the Shakhtar and Zenit fixtures will be confirmed, given that Ahli's schedule has been far from organized in recent months. The Reds next competitive fixture takes place in February against CAF Confederation Cup champions Leopards in the African Super Cup.
