Zamalek have been given the green light to stage their African Champions League match against Kenya�s Ulinzi Stars in Cairo despite security concerns, the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) said on Friday.
The Cairo giants considered holding the second-leg of their Champions League preliminary round in Libya after relentless demonstrations in Egypt brought president Hosni Mubarak�s 30-year rule to an end.
�After consulting the authorities, we announce that Zamalek�s match against Ulinzi Stars will be played at Military Academy Stadium on 27 February,� the EFA said in a statement on its official website.
�The Confederation of African Football (CAF) also agreed to allow Zamalek to host the match.�
The White Knights are on the verge of booking a place in the round of 32 after thrashing Ulinzi Stars 4-0 in the first leg in Kenya last month.
They have been out of action since then after football activities in Egypt were halted following the 18-day revolt.
