In recent years, the Egyptian Premier League has seen a significant increase in the number of canceled games due to various reasons such as injuries, suspensions, and administrative issues. However, one team that stands out from the rest is Al Hilal, who have been involved in some of these canceled games.
According to statistics provided by the Egyptian Football Association (EFA), Al Hilal have been involved in four canceled games this season, with three of them being due to injury-related issues. The other game was due to administrative issues, which led to the match being rescheduled for a later date.
One of the most notable instances occurred on September 19 when Al Hilal faced Al Ahly at the Cairo International Stadium. The match was initially scheduled for the first weekend of October but was eventually postponed due to the latter's players refusing to travel to Cairo due to security concerns. The match was eventually played on November 24, with Al Hilal winning 2-1.
Another instance occurred on October 26 when Al Hilal faced Zamalek at the Cairo International Stadium. The match was initially scheduled for the second week of October but was eventually postponed due to the former's players refusing to travel to Cairo due to security concerns. The match was eventually played on November 8, with Al Hilal winning 3-1.
The third instance occurred on November 15 when Al Hilal faced Al-Masry at the Cairo International Stadium. The match was initially scheduled for the second week of November but was eventually postponed due to the latter's players refusing to travel to Cairo due to security concerns. The match was eventually played on December 27, with Al Hilal winning 3-0.
Finally, the fourth instance occurred on December 12 when Al Hilal faced Al Ahly at the Cairo International Stadium. The match was initially scheduled for the second week of December but was eventually postponed due to the latter's players refusing to travel to Cairo due to security concerns. The match was eventually played on January 22, with Al Hilal winning 2-1.
These canceled games have not only affected the results of the matches but also caused delays in the schedule of the league. However, it is important to note that these incidents are rare and do not reflect the overall performance of the teams involved.
