Encyclopedia
The Egyptian Premier League is an Egyptian professional league for football clubs and represents the top flight of Egyptian football. The championship consists of nineteen competing teams in a home and away league system. It is currently known as the Etisalat Egyptian Premier League, after the Emirate communications company signed a sponsorship deal with the Egyptian FA. No more than three foreign players are allowed on any side in the Egyptian Premier League.
During the 2011 Egyptian Protests the Egyptian Premier League was paused until 6th March, but was postponed until April 14, when play finally resumed.
