The sports minister flatly denied this case saying: "Our position is firm, it is not detrimental to the league, it is not possible to postpone a competition because of the organization of the Africa Cup of Nations, and the Football Federation is responsible for the technical management of the competition. "

He concluded: "Our position is fixed and has not changed, and as I have already said, there is no intention to cancel the league permanently, and I have not spoken to any individual official about this. "

It should be noted that President Smouha based his comments on the difficulty of finishing the league with the date of the 2019 Nations Africa Cup to be held in June in Egypt.
