Corona virus affected global sport in general and life stopped in football fields since mid last March, and this led to a lot of financial and technical crises on players and clubs, but there was another kind of impact on Egyptian sport and specifically the struggle between Al Ahly and Zamalek over the title of the Horn of Africa Club And the recent differences between the board of directors of Al-Ahly Club and the head of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi Arabia, Turki Al-Sheikh.
The past period has witnessed many problems that did not occur before in Egyptian football, including the crisis of the century club that reappeared, the crisis of Hossam Ashour, the leader of Al-Ahly, and the problems of Chairman of the Board of the Zamalek Club, Mortada Mansour with Al-Ahly, next to the advisor to Al-Ahly club Mohamed Othman, who decided to resign From Al-Ahly club to devote to meet Mortada Mansour.
The title of the Century Club
caused the big league to stop due to the Corona crisis, which opened an old file that passed 20 years ago, which crowned the Al-Ahly Club with the title of the Century Club, which happened in South Africa 20 years ago and was received by the late former president of Al-Ahly Saleh Salim, but the Zamalek Club suddenly decided to search for His right to this topic and he deserves the title.
Hossam Ashour
15 years and more spent by Al-Ahly player and his historical leader, who won 34 titles to be among the three most players in the world crowning titles, and we did not witness him on the day of a statement that offended his club or attacked the board of directors, but a major dispute occurred during the interruption of the league because of Corona, after he requested Al-Ahly of the player to communicate with Turki Al-Sheikh to coordinate his retirement match, then a problem occurred between the two parties and Al-Ahly decided to withdraw all the features from the player.
Turki Al-Sheikh
, head of the General Authority for Recreation in Saudi Arabia, Turki Al-Sheikh, entered into new problems with the board of directors of Al-Ahly Club after the water had returned to normal and exchanged visits with Mahmoud Al-Khatib, but the crisis of Hussam Ashour and Muhammad Siraj renewed the conflict again, perhaps for many years. We have never seen a member of the Al-Ahly club speaking in such terms publicly.
Mortada Mansour Mortada Mansour has
entered into many problems with a number of parties and this is normal and is repeated from time to time, but the league's stoppage caused committing strange things, including the Real Century Club banner and the problem of the President of Zamalek Club with Mohamed Othman, the legal advisor to Al-Ahly, which amounted to insult and slander In front of the audience.
All of these problems and crises may not have occurred if the league was running regularly and there was no stopping, because the public and the boards of departments and media will be busy with the results of the teams, but with the current situation, each party wants to appear before the media to take its right in its own way.
