Al Ahly Club announced the issuance of a decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding the complaint filed by Pyramids FC, demanding that the Egyptian League title for last season be awarded to them and withdrawn from the Red Devils.
Al Ahly published a statement on its official social media accounts, which read: "The Court of Arbitration for Sport rules in favor of Al Ahly Club's full entitlement to the General League championship last season and rejects the competitor's appeal."
It is worth noting that the Egyptian Clubs Association had previously announced Al Ahly Club as the winner of the domestic league title for last season, but Pyramids FC objected to this decision, demanding the title be withdrawn in their favor.
Pyramids had demanded a deduction of six points from Al Ahly due to their withdrawal against Zamalek, rather than the three points imposed by the Clubs Association.
