Football returns to Egypt

League football resumes in Egypt following the revolution, but do the public care? In Spain, it's all about El Clasico - as Barca prepare to meet Real Madrid four times in 18 days.

We report from Cairo as the football league resumes - despite serious concerns over security. The league was suspended for two and a half months as Egypt was gripped by the revolution which led to the downfall of former President Hosni Mubarak.

We'll be finding out more about Terek Grozny. The team from the Chechen Republic - now coached by Ruud Gullit and backed by a President accused of human rights abuses.

Plus, it's gone El Clasico crazy in Spain - as bitter rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona prepare for four games against each other in just 18 days. Who will come out on top?

And it's an important year for women's football - with the World Cup taking place in Germany in June - we're at the launch of a new Super League in England.

Presented by Alan Green.
