<p>    Football season is on the doors and our excitement for this season is just above and beyond! I mean how big are your expectations and how many questions do you have?</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>   To name a few; how strong will the <strong>Eagles</strong> comeback be this season wanting their title back?! Are the <strong>Hounds</strong> just as ready to defend their spot? Where are the <strong>Bears</strong>?! Who’s going to be the most surprising team this season? </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>   And what’s up with all the players moving between teams?! Of course, It’s nothing but normal for players to be changing teams. while many are very strongly committed to the teams they call family, a lot tend to find themselves within new families.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>   The Egyptian League</strong> has witnessed such movements in the past and it has recently even started showing in the <strong>EFFL</strong> with the two biggest examples of <em>Nora Ali</em>, and <em>Ghadeer Sabry</em> leaving the <strong>Warriors</strong> to join the <strong>GUC Eagles</strong>.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>   This <strong>ENFL</strong> season however, shows an unprecedented number of players’ movement. Let’s first address the elephant in the room, being the <strong>Bears’</strong> announcement of the <strong>Hounds’</strong> <em>Ali Samir</em> joining them for the season. Yet, Ali’s decision wasn’t final and it has been confirmed that he will be playing for the <strong>Hell Hounds</strong>. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>   The<strong> Bears</strong> however have secured three of the strongest defensive players in <strong>Tigers’</strong> History; <em>Mohamed Araby</em>, <em>Abdullah Nasr</em> and <em>Ahmed Khaled </em>along with receiver <em>Gamal Mahmoud</em>. The list goes on with the<strong> Warriors’</strong> <em>Youssef Shawky</em> and <em>Marwan Yasser</em>, the <strong>Titan’s</strong> receiver <em>Omar Mohamed</em> and running back <em>Eslam Mohamed</em>. They’ve also hired ex Hounds’ Coach,<em> John Burleson</em> . The<strong> Bears</strong> may be keeping a closed door for practice but we’re sure they’re ready to fight! </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>   As for the <strong>Wolves</strong>, they’ve welcomed a couple of players from the <strong>Thunder</strong> including <em>Ahmed Metwally</em> and <em>Omar Yahia</em>, as well as from the <strong>Tigers</strong> including their lineman <em>Mohamed Badr</em>. We also know that <em>Omar Ghanem</em> will be playing this season. After two months of practice with the <strong>Hell Hounds</strong>, Omar decided to rejoin the pack for the <strong>ENFL V.</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>   The biggest surprise this season though is in the groups of players who moved together from team to team. A group of players from the <strong>Warriors</strong> have decided to join the <strong>Hounds</strong>, while two other groups quit the<strong> Thunder</strong> to join <strong>Tigers</strong> and <strong>Hounds</strong>. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>   So how will all of this unfold on the field? Well it’s too many questions, and here’s a little insight of what went around in pre-season games that may help us gather up some ideas. <em>Here’s what we do know. </em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>   The Defending champions; <strong>Cairo Hell Hounds</strong>, have not yet played an official pre-season game but have participated in controlled scrimmages with both the <strong>Gezira Thunder</strong> and the <strong>GUC Eagles</strong>. It’s still un-known whether the Hounds will be playing a pre-season game or if they’ll wait to leave it all on the field in the first week of the season. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>   The <strong>Thunder</strong> on the other hand, have had other friendly scrimmages with the <strong>Titans </strong>,<strong>Tigers </strong>and <strong>Bears </strong>while also playing a strong official pre-season game with the <strong>GUC Eagles</strong>. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>   The <strong>MSA Tigers</strong> beat the <strong>Cairo Warriors</strong> in the only pre-season game both teams have played. Where are the <strong>Bears</strong>? Well, they’ve proven what this season will be about through keeping a close game in a controlled scrimmage against one of the strongest West teams, the <strong>Wolves</strong>. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>   While we tried to sum up an idea of what to expect we still have a million questions and we know you do too! So stay tuned for our in depth interviews with each of the 8 teams which may just give us a hint on what we’ll be seeing on the bumpy road to the <strong>Egyptian Bowl V</strong>. </p>
