The Egyptian Football Association has resolved the controversy surrounding the possibility of canceling the Premier League during the current season, following widespread rumors in recent hours about the fate of the local competition.

The broadcaster Ahmed Shobeir, through his radio program, reported from a responsible source within the Football Association that the idea of canceling the league championship was never initially discussed. He confirmed that all the circulated information on this matter is baseless.

The source clarified that the federation has not discussed any changes regarding the format or system of the competition, emphasizing the continuation of the current system for the ongoing season, which stipulates the relegation of four clubs to the second division, while only three clubs will be promoted, with no exceptions.

In the same context, Mustafa Abu Zahra, a member of the Football Association's board of directors, denied in a television statement early this morning that the idea of canceling the league was discussed in any official meeting, affirming that the matter was never raised within the corridors of the association.

A board member emphasized that the Egyptian Premier League is tied to sponsorship contracts and television broadcasting rights, in addition to having a specialized company responsible for organizing the competition, which makes the idea of canceling the league completely unlikely for the current season.
