Ahly will resume training on Friday for the first time since the Port Said football disaster that killed 74 people – mostly Ahly fans – on 1 February.
“We will start working on the players’ morale after the tragic experience they went through. It’s hard to forget it but we need to move on,” football director Sayed Abdel-Hafiz was quoted as saying on the club’s official website.
Abdel-Hafiz insisted that resuming regular training didn’t mean the tragedy was forgotten.
“Investigations will continue and the martyrs' rights will never been abandoned," he insisted.
