[edit] Challenges Facing The Egyptian League

Other problems such as facilities have weakened the league. Many facilities are old and are facing problems on the pitch. And all current facilities such as Cairo Stadium are not used to full capacity.

In addition, league administration have lacked in organizing proper standards in comparison to top leagues in the world. Problems such as scheduling league fixtures, organizaion of proper online databases, & other minor details have lowered standards in the league.

If the Egyptian League could control its media rights & fix problems with facilities such as security, seating, accessibility, pitch & all the matters relating, the Egyptian League could be very profitable.
