“When the second division was 5 clubs and then 8 he appeared stronger and the climb became more difficult, and it would be better if the team was raised to 10 clubs,” he said.
He continued, “The second -class competitions are witnessing many stops and few matches, especially since there are only two championships, namely the second division and the second division only.”
He added, “Some professionals know that the second division league only 14 games do not come to the team. Therefore, the lack of clubs affects the contracts as well and not only in the tournament.”

He added, “There is another decision that must be taken, which is that a team or the two teams at the bottom lands for the amateur league or the third division, whatever the names, and this will make there competition throughout the season, whether in the rise to qualify for the stars league or at the bottom for fear of landing to the amateur league.”
