Abdul-Hafiz sets September 12th for testimonial match

The match will be between Ahli and Saudi counterparts Ahli Jeddah in Cairo.

"I agreed the date with (coach) Manuel Jose and (assistant coach) Hossam Al-Badri," Abdul-Hafiz told FilGoal.com late on Tuesday.

However, the former Egypt international said the Saudi side is yet to confirm its participation.

"Ahli sent a fax to the Saudi club," he said. "We'll wait and see."

Abdul-Hafiz was grateful for the words of praise that Enppi coach Rainer Zobel showered him with.

"Zobel and I had a very good working relationship when he was in charge of Ahli," said Abdul-Hafiz.

Zobel had described Abdul-Hafiz as a "talented player" after Enppi's Egyptian Super Cup match against Ahli on Sunday.
