The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) on Tuesday set a new date for restarting the Egyptian Premier League as it will be resumed on August 6 instead of 7.
In a statement, the EFA said that the new decision has been taken in accordance with the security authorities.
It also added that schedule of the games will be declared after getting the approval from the security authorities.
On his part, the head of the Competitions Committee Hossam El-Zanat said that the resumption of the domestic competition will kick off with the postponed games.
The EFA last month implemented safety guidelines and testing procedures for players mandating two tests with five days separating each test, since then 19 tests have returned positive with inpiduals in isolation.
