Ghaly's retirement testimonial to be held in UAE

CAIRO - 8 April 2018: Hossam Ghaly, Al-Ahly’s captain, is scheduled to hold his retirment testimonial in the United Arab Emirates, where a major match is expected to take place between the Egyptian team and a European team by around May 11.

Ghaly returned to Al-Ahly last January after ending his contract with Saudi Arabia’s club Al-Nasr.

The Al-Ahly captain announced that he would retire at the end of the current season despite Hossam al-Badri, the team’s coach, welcoming the player stay for another season.

Ghaly will be appointed Al-Ahly’s general coordinator after his retirement.

Ghaly is currently working on arrangements for his retirement testimonial, highlighting the Al-Ahly captain’s legacy ad the role he played for the team.
