Al Ahly decided to return from Spain after the end of their camp there by private plane to Cairo.
And FilGoal.com learned that Al Ahly decided to return by private plane from the Spain camp, due to the lack of time before the start of the league.
Al Ahly returns from the camp after playing against Barcelona in the Joan Gamper Cup on August 19.
The Egyptian League kicks off on the 21st of the same month.
The Al Ahly board of directors, headed by Mahmoud El Khatib, announced the assignment of board member Tarek Kandil to head the football team delegation in Spain.
The Al Ahly team delegation will fly to Spain next Thursday in preparation for the external preparation camp.
Al Ahly's preparation camp in Spain will be held from August 6 to 20.
The camp will include an anticipated match between Al Ahly and Barcelona at Camp Nou on the 19th of this month.
This comes as part of the 61st edition of the Joan Gamper Cup.
The draw for the Egyptian League will be held on Wednesday, August 5.
Al Ahly will be facing a new chapter in its history when it meets Barcelona on August 19, in the 61st edition of the Joan Gamper Cup, one of the oldest friendly tournaments in European football.
Although it is a friendly tournament, it represents an annual celebration for Barcelona fans marking the start of the new season, and is considered the official event during which the Catalan club presents its team to its fans.
The Joan Gamper Cup tournament began in 1966 at the initiative of then-Barcelona president Enric Llaudet, in honor of the club's Swiss founder Joan Gamper, who founded Barcelona in 1899 and was the first to lay the foundations of the club that later became one of the largest clubs in the world.
The tournament has continued annually since then, becoming a fixed tradition on Barcelona's pre-season agenda.
In its early years, the tournament was held with four teams participating in a semi-final and final format, determining third and fourth places.
However, since 1997, Barcelona decided to change the format so that the tournament consists of a single match between the Catalan team and its guest, a system that continues to this day.
