Egyptian Minister of Youth and Sports Ashraf Sobhi confirmed that he is currently seeking reconciliation between Zamalek president Mortada Mansour and Al-Ahly President Mahmoud al-Khatib, for the sake of Egypt’s interest, as he put it, but revealed that this will be done in due course.
The past period had witnessed many problems and crises between the President of Zamalek and the Board of Directors of Al-Ahly Club and reached the Egyptian Parliament Hall, especially the crisis of the Century Club, in which the Al-Ahly Council requested the intervention of the Minister of Youth and Sports.
"The reconciliation between Al-Ahly and Zamalek after many differences during the recent period will happen at the appropriate time because it is the most important love of the country and more important than the differences between the two largest sports institutions in Egypt," said Egyptian Sports Minister Ashraf Sobhi in press statements reported by Egyptian media.
He added: "The club session that was held in the past days touched on reconciliation between Al-Ahly and Zamalek, which will be with the approval of the two poles, headed by Mahmoud Al-Khatib and Murtada Mansour. There is a strong disagreement between Al-Ahly and Zamalek during the last period after the Zamalek club raised the banner" Zamalek is the real century club with championships and achievements, not patronage and compliments. " , Amidst the outrage among officials of the Red Castle, which developed with a celebration of the club's title of the century through the "Zamalek" channel and the signing of the club Zamalek as a trademark of the Confederate champion with the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade in Egypt.
