Civil disturbances in Egypt have disrupted sporting activities<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

South Africa have refused to postpone next month’s 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Egypt.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Pharaohs had asked for another date after the political crisis that has rocked the North African country recently. <\/p>\n

But an official of the Egyptian FA Amr Abu Elez said their plea had been turned down by the South Africans. <\/p>\n

“We already have an answer from the South Africans and they refused,” Abu Elez told BBC Sport. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“They said they don’t want to postpone the match and they want to play it on 26 March.” <\/p>\n

Egypt, run the risk of not making it to the finals to be co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. <\/p>\n

The reigning African champions are currently last in Group G which is made up of five teams. <\/p>\n

Bafana Bafana lead the group with four points. <\/p>\n

Abu Elez, said they had also taken their case to the Confederation of African Football (Caf) and were still waiting for a response. <\/p>\n

But he added that he was not confident that the continental body would change the date. <\/p>\n

The football administrator said with this in mind, preparations for the game would go on as usual. <\/p>\n

He said the Pharaohs would be travelling to Oman to train after club side Al Ahly’s African Champions League match on 19 March. <\/p>\n

Asked when the local league would resume, Abu Elez said it would be after their game against South Africa. <\/p>\n

Another club Zamalek, have already played a game at home as they beat Kenya’s Ulinzi Stars 1-0 to qualify for the next round of the Champions League. <\/p>\n

“It’s great to have matches back in Egypt,” he said. <\/p>\n

“The supporters were very good.” <\/p>\n
