The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has been steadfast in their commitment to not letting an extraordinarily busy schedule from forcing them into any delays, with the domestic Egyptian Premier League in particular a competition that the EFA wants to go as planned. Appearing on Egyptian television, EFA chairman Ahmed Megahed stated that some games may be moved back in the league, but that August 26 is the date the EFA is dedicated to having the current 2020-21 season end on. Following the conclusion of the 2020-21 season in late August, the EFA plans on having the 2021-22 season start in mid-September.
