The first football team of Zamalek SC will return to Cairo on the morning of October 18, after playing the first leg against Rwandan army in the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League.
Zamalek is set to begin a closed training camp on October 19, in preparation for the match against Petrojet, which will take place on October 20 at Borg El Arab Stadium, as part of the seventh round of the Egyptian League.
The tight schedule between Zamalek's return from Rwanda and the match against Petrojet has raised concerns within the coaching staff, especially since the team will arrive in Cairo on October 18, just 48 hours before the local match, which could put physical pressure on the players.
Zamalek may request the Egyptian Professional Clubs Association to change the date or location of the Petrojet match to be held in Cairo, due to the difficulty of playing at Borg El Arab after the return trip from Rwanda, and to allow enough time for the players to recover and prepare for the match.
