The Court of Administrative Justice in Cairo on Sunday issued a decision to dismiss Mortada Mansour, president of the rival club Zamalek in the Egyptian Premier League football. The Court obliged the Board of Directors to call for the election of a new President.

The court's ruling came after accepting a lawsuit filed by Abdullah George and Hani Shoukry, ex-Zamalek board members and others, demanding Mansour's dismissal. The State Commissioners Authority of the Egyptian Administrative Court decided to "suspend the implementation of the negative decision by refraining from the administrative authority"
