There are many situations and statements in which the president of Zamalek club Murtada Mansour tried to try to "distort" Qatar hosting the African Super Cup between the "White Castle" and the Tunisian Esperance, but the warm welcome of the Egyptian club's delegation yesterday in Doha, prompted communication activists to ridicule Mansour's positions.
Mansour had threatened on various occasions to boycott the African Super League due to his stay in Qatar, but he retreated for fear of being subjected to harsh penalties by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), which could reach exclusion from the upcoming continental championships.
Social media activists mocked the president of Zamalek, and praised Qatar for allowing Egyptian fans to receive the club's players, and not to involve it in politics in sports.
Sources close to Murtada Mansour revealed to Al-Jazeera Net that Mansour's refusal to play the Zamalek Super Cup in Qatar and his preference for the match in the Emirates is due to two reasons of his own, and there is no relationship with Zamalek or the Egyptian state in that, the first of which is his good relations with officials and referees in the Emirates, and that he gets from This is for "gifts" money, and the second is to appease the state to overlook the financial corruption incidents of his son, Prince of the Supervisor of Ball in Zamalek.
Zamalek club fans gathered at the gates of Hamad International Airport in Doha to receive the mission headed by Ismail Youssef, member of the Board of Directors.
The fans chanted an encouragement to Zamalek players before playing the African Super match against Esperance next Friday, at the "Thani Bin Jassim" stadium in Al Gharafa Club.
Zamalek will play the African Super Cup after winning the Confederation title against the Moroccan Berkane Renaissance, while Esperance plays Tunisian after winning the African Champions League title against Moroccan Wydad.
