The Egyptian Football Association responded to the ridicule of the English Liverpool star, Mohamed Salah, after winning the Best Federation award during 2019, according to the choices made by the Confederation of African Football held in Hurghada. The five-member committee in charge of managing the Football Association, headed by Amr El-Ganaini, refused to involve itself in the Mohamed Salah crisis, the star of the Egyptian national team after his mockery of the previous board of directors headed by Hany Aburaida.
A source inside the Provisional Committee said, in statements to Al-Watan Sport newspaper: "We do not want to create crises, and we will not be driven behind a tweet that was published on" Social Media ", and we were not appointed by" FIFA "to comment on such, our aim is to work for the benefit of Egyptian football."
Salah was absent from attending the award ceremony for the best, and he confined himself to Senegalese Sadio Mane, which opened the door to the debate about the reasons for his absence, and the controversy increased after his mockery of crowning the Football Association with the title of the best union for 2019, by publishing a picture of his daughter Makkah wearing a hanging rob and won the title The best union, without mentioning the name of the Egyptian union.
