“The interior ministry has agreed to allow 1,000 supporters of each club to attend league games starting from the new season 2021/2022,” Diab said during the draw for the Egyptian Premier League’s new season on Tuesday.
Egypt has been holding all football games behind closed doors over the past year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
