A new-look Ahly side start the defence of their Egyptian Premier League title against minnows Ragaa away from home on Thursday.
Due to participating in the Egypt Super Cup and the African Confederation Cup semis, Ahly have been forced to begin league play four weeks after the start of the competition. As they look to defend their league title, they will begin league play against a side who narrowly survived relegation last season.
