Abdul-Hafiz criticized the exceptional league system this season, which divides the 19 top-flight clubs into two groups before setting a final playoff which determines the champion.
“There is no football league in Egypt. It would be more appropriate to give it another name!” the former Egypt international told FilGoal.com.
“A league competition should be decided by points but this four-club playoff looks like a cup tournament.
“One defeat could cost you the results of a whole season.
“Competition is not high in such a case. It is all about surprises and unexpected results.”
Defending champions Ahli will open their playoff campaign against ENPPI or Smouha on June 29 before taking bitter rivals Ismaili and Zamalek.
