Overview
Fans return to the stadiums
From this season on, the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) will officially allow the fans to attend league matches again, after they showed great discipline while attending non-league matches in the previous years.[2][3][4] The EFA banned all fans from attending all matches back in February 2012, where the Port Said Stadium riot occurred during Al Masry and Al Ahly match in the 2011–12 Egyptian Premier League, which resulted in the death 72 Al Ahly fans, 1 Al Masry fan and 1 police officer.[5] All Egyptian Premier League fixtures since then was played behind closed doors, and sometimes with a group of people who were invited by the clubs involving in a match.
Al Masry return to Port Said
From this season on, the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) will allow Al Masry to play all local home matches at Al Masry Club Stadium (previously known as Port Said Stadium) in Port Said, after the club successfully acquired the stadium from the Governorate of Port Said on 5 January 2016.[6] The EFA banned the stadium from hosting all football activities after the Port Said Stadium riot occurred in 2012, and Al Masry played all of their local matches, both home and away, at Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria and at Ismailia Stadium in Ismailia for African matches since then.
Al Assiouty Sport takeover
On 18 June 2018, Mahmoud Al Assiouty, president of Al Assiouty Sport, announced that the club was officially sold to two investors from Saudi Arabia. The club name was changed to Pyramids Football Club, and the deal was later confirmed on 27 June 2018.[7]
Nogoom El Mostakbal rebranding
On 29 July 2018, just two days before the start of the season, Nogoom El Mostakbal announced on their official Facebook page that the club name has been changed to Nogoom Football Club. Club president Mohamed El Tawila stated that the decision to rename the club came after they reached their goal by promoting to the Egyptian Premier League for the first time. The old name, Nogoom El Mostakbal, means "Future Stars" in Arabic, and the new name, Nogoom, means "Stars".[8][9]
