Athletes confirmed that there are five basic files that precipitated the departure of the Football Association Board headed by Marwan bin Ghalita, before the end of his electoral period in 2020, noting that these files are the failure of the national teams, headed by the first national team, internal differences in the federation, and tension The relationship with the General Sports Authority, the lack of transparency and the absence of communication with the media, and the way the federation is managed through specific people away from integration with the other members of the Football Association.
They told «Emirates Today» that «signs of decline appeared on the Emirates ball in various directions since the resigned federation took over, and despite the fact that everyone expected that the federation to review its policies and correct errors and address them, this did not happen until things went wrong and reached A dead end occurred (the ax is in the head), and there was no choice before the federation except to resign and leave, after failing to manage matters, ”noting that“ the next Football Association is awaiting great challenges in dealing with matters, especially at the level of the first team. ”
At a time when athletes identified the negatives of the resigning Football Association, they touched on its positives, and said: «There are positives for the resigned Football Association during his work, most notably in the application of referee video technology for the first time in the league, establishing a league for second-degree clubs, and allocating financial support to some clubs Amateurs at 200 thousand dirhams per month for each club, stressing that "the street sports assessment of the Federation's performance was done through the results of the national teams, specifically the first team."
The emergency general assembly of the Football Association will be held tomorrow to form a transitional committee that will manage the affairs of the Football Association until the election of a new board of directors for the next electoral cycle in 2020-2024.
Former Board member of the Football Association, sports analyst at Dubai Sports Channel, Mohamed Matar Gharab, stressed that “the resigned union came at a wrong timing, that is, at a time when the Emirates football infrastructure was supposed to be completed at all levels regardless of the results, especially Emirates ball was far from the developed countries in Asia. ”
“The Emirates ball started a process of remarkable retreat in all directions, until changes in the regulations were affecting in one way or another in the game, and there were failures from one stage to the next, so that relations between the members of the federation began to appear on the surface, and all of these Things needed to be stopped by the federation itself to correct the path, but there was perseverance in not correcting the mistakes even on the level of relations between the union members, as the sports street was talking about it and everyone expected the federation to take the lead in dealing with things, but that did not happen Until I fell (the ax in the head). ”
In turn, the former Chairman of the Board of the Union of Kalba Club, Issa Al-Dhabahi, stressed that «the change that occurred in the Football Association should have taken place after (Khaleeji 23) that was held in Kuwait in the wake of the repercussions that accompanied the team’s participation, and the Federation’s failure to control matters within The team ”, noting that“ the union must work as one system through committees that work in cooperation and harmony, so the lack of understanding, lack of clarity and transparency caused the things that happened inside the union and eventually led to his resignation with the majority of members. ”
Al-Dhahabi added that "the failure of any committees to perform their duties as required leads to the failure of the entire system, and this is what happened with the Football Association." The former assistant secretary-general of the Football Association, Imran Abdullah, considered that “the Football Association was unsuccessful during the period in which he took over the affairs of the federation in 2016, succeeding the previous federation in managing many important files that constitute the main nerve of the keys to the success of the federation in its mission. Especially at the level of the national teams, foremost among them is the first team, which achieved very modest results and did not provide the required technical returns, ”noting that“ the sports street in general rules over the success of any union or not through the results and achievements of the first team. ” For his part, Khaled Obaid, former director of the football team at Al-Nasr Club, believes that "the unclear calendar, along with the humility of the results of the national team, and the state of mystery that accompanied the contracting issue with the former Dutch coach, Marwijk, was the most prominent reason in accelerating the resignation of the federation." "Although there were positives for the resigning federation, the sports street governs the federation's work through the results of the first team and its ranking at the level of the Asian continent."
