Unfortunately, the escape of some of our players from the camp during their presence with our national teams has spread in recent years, not only at the level of the first team, but in other categories as well. Which witnessed the departure of players from the camp without permission, and this situation was repeated more than once in the participation of our first team in particular, which is surprising and surprising, and the important question here is why did things reach this situation?

On discipline in the camps of our national teams, and the responsibility also rests on the technical and administrative director to set a strict system for all players representing the national team, and to submit transparent and impartial reports to the management of national teams in the Football Association out of honesty and patriotism.

What was previously happening in terms of neglect in the camps of our first team, especially during the preparation periods for the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers and their camps, was a direct reason for not qualifying for the World Cup finals.

The regulations must be reviewed so that there are strict procedures for every player who does not adhere to the regulations and instructions with our national teams (from the security of punishment is bad manners). Joining the country's national team and representing it is the wish of every player around the world.

The statement of the Egyptian international star, Liverpool player Mohamed Salah, at the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards ceremony, about the difference between the European professional and the Arab professional, shows the importance of the player having the mentality in order to proceed to success.

• The regulations must be reviewed so that there are strict procedures for every player who does not comply with the regulations and instructions.
