Record-holders Al Ahly have officially requested foreign referees for the remainder of their Egyptian Premier League games.

Al Ahly are currently second on the league table, one point behind Zamalek but with two games in hand.

So far, the Reds have won ten of their 12 clashes, while falling to a draw once and suffering one defeat.

“Hiring a refereeing expert to provide insights and give lectures could help Egyptian referees improve.
