“Tunisian side Esperance will face Morocco’s FUS Rabat at Alexandria stadium with 10,000 fans attendance,” he added.

“The two semi-final games will be played at 20:00 Cairo local time, GMT+2,” Raouraoua said.

Ahly’s football director Sayed Abdel-Hafiz expressed his contentment with the Arab championship draw, saying the match will be different from the group stage.

“All the squad is fit for the match, but it depends on the decision of coach Hossam El-Badry,” Abdel-Hafiz said.

Ahly booked their place in the Arab Club Championship semi-finals after placing second in their group ranking with six points, while Jordan’s Al-Faisaly, Tunisian side Esperance and Morocco’s FUS Rabat reached the semis after topping their groups.
