The Dervishes were scheduled to face Petroleum in Asyut on October 26th, just three days before meeting Al-Bastin of Bahrain in the Arab Champions League.

However, the club have now asked to either postpone the game or exchange its venue to Ismailia in order to avoid travel exhaustion before the Bastin game.

In case their request is accepted, Ismaili's second league game against Petroleum will be played in Asyut.
