The Egyptian Football Association have announced the postponement of the Haras El-Hodood and Al Masry clash after the latter was hit by 16 COVID-19 cases.
Following the discovery of 16 coronavirus cases in Al Masry ahead of their clash against Haras El-Hoduod, the EFA allowed the Port-said based club to undergo additional PCR tests to ensure that their Monday’s game goes in time.

“The testing was made for some of the current players as well as the youth ones in an attempt to catch up with today’s Haras Al-Hodud match,” they added.
The match was scheduled to take place today, Monday the 10th of August as part of the 18th round of the Egyptian Premier League.
