Al Ahly's CAF Champions League fixture
with South African outfit Orlando Pirates
will go ahead as scheduled.
The Egyptian side had written to the
Confederation of African Football
requesting the postponement of the
match scheduled to take place on
August 4.
An earlier group stage fixture between Al Ahly and Zamalek was successfully
rearranged due to security fears in Cairo.
That match saw a change of venue from Cairo to El Gouna due to unrest in the
Egyptian capital
But CAF have turned down the request for a second postponement.
A statement on the club's website read: "The management received the rejection
letter from CAF on Monday."
