Previous reports indicated that the Red Devils were heading to Tunisia for their pre-season training in what will be the first opportunity for Jose Riveiro to oversee his team's official preparations for the new season.
The club had reportedly planned to play three friendly games against Tunisian clubs Espérance Sportive de Tunis and Club Africain but the two sides had withdrawn from the proposed friendlies, Sport El Watan reported.
The publication reported that Al Ahly management had moved swiftly to find new games to play and reached a quick agreement with Algerian league champions CR Belouizdad, managed by former TS Galaxy coach Sead Ramovic.
The Red Devils took advantage of the Algerian side's decision to go to Tunisia for pre-season, meaning Riveiro will once again face a familiar face in the opposite dugout.
The Red Giant will face Algerian side CS Constantine on 21 July, before facing Ramovic's side on 25 July and ending their pre-season games against Tunisian side Etoile du Sahel as part of the Tunisian club’s centenary celebrations.
