⚽ Al Ahly confirm Uganda travel date
Al Ahly have confirmed October 14 as the date for the first-team delegation to travel to Uganda ahead of their CAF Confederation Cup Round of 32 first-leg meeting with Kitara.
The travel plans were coordinated between the technical staff and football department as part of the club’s preparations for the continental fixture. Recent reports confirmed that the team will travel on October 14 before facing Kitara in Uganda on October 17.
📢 Wael Gomaa oversees travel arrangements
Al Ahly football director Wael Gomaa said the travel date had been finalized in coordination with the coaching staff.
He also explained that ongoing coordination with the Egyptian embassy in Uganda is taking place to complete all arrangements related to the trip and ensure the delegation enjoys the best possible conditions during its stay.
Al Ahly will face Kitara in the first leg on October 17, while the return leg is scheduled to take place in Cairo on October 25.
🔥 Al Ahly step up preparations
The Red Giants have resumed training at El Tetsh Stadium after the players completed their scheduled rest period.
Before the session began, head coach Hussein Ammouta held a meeting with the players to discuss several technical aspects and outline the work plan for the coming stage as the team prepares for its upcoming competitive fixtures.
The session began with physical exercises before the players moved on to technical drills with the ball, forming part of the coaching staff’s preparation program.
🏆 Kitara await Al Ahly in the Confederation Cup
Al Ahly’s meeting with Kitara will mark the beginning of their Confederation Cup campaign this season, with the Ugandan side reaching the second preliminary stage after overcoming Somalia’s Mogadishu City in the opening round.
The first leg will be played in Uganda before the two teams meet again in Cairo for the return fixture, making the away result particularly important for Al Ahly ahead of the second leg.
⭐ Three days between travel and kickoff
With the delegation scheduled to depart on October 14 and the match set for October 17, Al Ahly will have roughly three days in Uganda before kickoff.
The timing gives Ammouta and his staff an opportunity to prepare the squad for the match while also allowing the players to adapt to the travel conditions and surroundings before the continental challenge.
Attention will now turn to the squad that Ammouta will select and the tactical approach he will use in the first leg.
🏁 Al Ahly begin another continental journey
The coaching staff will continue focusing on physical and tactical preparation over the coming days, while the logistical details of the Uganda trip are incorporated into the team’s overall preparations.
As the departure date approaches, Al Ahly’s focus will increasingly shift toward Kitara, with the Egyptian side hoping to secure a strong first-leg result away from home before returning to Cairo to complete the tie.
