The Egyptian Professional Clubs Association has taken a new step regarding the organization of the Egyptian Premier League schedule after approving Egypt national team head coach Hossam Hassan’s request to hold several league rounds before the Pharaohs’ training camp in September. 🔥
The decision comes as part of ongoing coordination between the association and the national team coaching staff, which is seeking a suitable preparation period before upcoming matches, especially during an important stage that requires players to be ready physically and technically.
📢 Four or Five League Rounds Before National Team Camp
Hossam Hassan requested that four or five rounds of the Egyptian Premier League be played before the start of Egypt’s national team camp in September, and the request received approval from the Professional Clubs Association.
The association believes that playing a suitable number of league matches before the international break will help players maintain match fitness and allow the national team staff to closely monitor different players before selecting the final squad.
The decision is part of efforts to create balance between the national team schedule and club commitments, especially with Egyptian football facing several important challenges in the coming period.
🏆 New Egyptian League Start Date
The Egyptian Premier League is expected to begin on August 20 or 21, with clubs currently preparing through training camps and new signings ahead of the official start of the competition.
The Professional Clubs Association is working on creating a suitable schedule that considers domestic and continental commitments, in addition to national team breaks, to avoid excessive pressure on players throughout the season.
Clubs are aiming for a strong start to the new campaign, especially with major teams strengthening their squads during the current summer transfer window.
🇪🇬 Egypt National Team Preparing for Important Period
The international break is scheduled to begin on September 21 and continue until October 6, during which Egypt’s national team will play four matches as part of its preparation program.
Hossam Hassan considers this period highly important as an opportunity to continue improving the team’s performance and test new players before upcoming official challenges.
The coach wants national team players to have enough competitive matches before joining the camp, ensuring that the Pharaohs enter the international break in the best possible physical and technical condition. ⭐
🔥 Continuous Coordination Between National Team and Clubs
Recent weeks have witnessed increased cooperation between the national team staff and the Professional Clubs Association to find solutions that serve Egyptian football as a whole.
Officials hope this coordination will help reduce scheduling problems, especially since fixture congestion has been one of the biggest challenges facing clubs and the national team in recent seasons.
A stable schedule also gives clubs a better opportunity to prepare, while allowing the national team staff to continuously monitor players and select the best performers.

The Professional Clubs Association’s approval of Hossam Hassan’s request represents an important step in preparing Egypt’s national team for the upcoming period, as the coaching staff aims to build a competitive squad capable of achieving positive results.
