Wadi Degla Multisports Projects have built a second Multi sport complex in New Cairo. The complex, situated about 25km from the other Wadi Degla sports complex, was propsed in March, and definitively opened in June. The complex is some 80,000 sq m, and will be enlarged to 125,000 sq m. Just as in Wadi Degla Sporting Club, you can also participate in many sports. Amongst others there is:
1 Official FIFA-licensed artificial football pitch
8 squash courts (including one for doubles)
10 tennis courts
Fitness centre
4 Swimming pools
Covered Sport hall
Basketball court

In the club there is also an Arsenal Soccer School, where young players can receive professional coaching. In the meantime, 3000 families have already joined as members of the club, which brings the total number of families between the two complexes to 9000. wadi Degla Multi Sports Projects have plans for both a third and fourth complex.

The winter traning camp will take place from 30-12 till 07-1, in Marina Wadi Degla.

Wadi Degla FC has bought the rights to the Youth Center of Ebshway, a team from Faroum, some 125km from Cairo. The team plays in one of the three Egyptian Second Division leagues, the Second Division Group 1.

Wadi Degla Fc themselves finished in 2nd place in National 3rd Division, but submitted a complaint to the Egyptian FA against the Champions, in light of bribery. The decision is expected at the end of July. If the decision is found in favour of Wadi Degla FC, they will play in the National 2nd Division next season, but in a different league than the Youth Center, in Second Division Group 3.

Third Division Turnhout trained on Wednesday for the first time. Lierse players Kane Develer, Omar Rabie and Glenn Smet were loaned to Turnhout, and are part of the First team this season under the leadership of trainer René Desaeyere.
Other newcomers at Turnhout are Alexandri Rinaldi, Nicholas Tamsin (who trained last week with Lierse) and Hennie Noyen.

Maged Samy, Neel De Ceulaer and Donato Lallo were also present at the first training session at Leemshoeve, the training complex (7 well maintained pitches) of Turnhout. Samy spoke to the Turnhout squad before the training, and provided information about the collaboration between Lierse and Turnhout. He also spoke about the sporting ambitions of both clubs.

Turnhout play their first pre-season friendly on Sunday, against first division side Dender.

On Wednesday the Lierse players trained twice. In the morning an intensive session on the De Mol track. Physio Peter Vervoort was delighted afterwards, as the improvement from the first weeks’ training was noticeable.

In the afternoon a quieter, more technically aimed training was given in Bevel.
