CAIRO: Egypt assistant coach Shawki Gharib demanded fixed dates for the league next season to make sure the national team s preparations are not interrupted.
Calls for the Egyptian League stability frequently arise every season, but these pleas always fall on deaf ears.
The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) often pledges to announce full schedules prior to every season but they never fulfill their promises.
This time, Gharib wants the organizational aspects to be sorted out immediately.
We want to know the schedules for next season in order to set Egypt s preparations for the Confederations Cup, he told FilGoal.com on Wednesday.
The national team technical staff informed the EFA of their preferences for the league s dates.
If the competition starts on Aug. 8 and ends on May 15, we will have over a month to hold preparations for the Confederation Cup, he added.
