Sports analyst Ahmed Yamani attacked the Egyptian Football Association in a series of tweets on Twitter, in which he tried to reach the reasons for the failures of the current administration of the federation, he said.

At the level of the rest of the files, it is the same result and the same method of management, the file of dealing with talents and buds, the file of the Referees Committee, the file of Egypt’s failure to organize the 2022 CAF Champions League final, the file of Queiroz’s dues, the file of Ihab Jalal taking over the technical management of the national team, but after a match, a complete failure in Egyptian football management.

Yamani added, “The Egyptian youth team, what does it do in the African championships that reached the World Cup? In 2013 it was the champion, and this generation has now reached 31 years, which means it is almost over. Finally, 2023, we played on our land and got out of the groups.

And he continued, “At the level of the rest of the files, it is the same result and the same management method, the file of dealing with talents and buds, the file of the Referees Committee, the file of Egypt’s failure to organize the 2022 CAF Champions League final, the file of Queiroz’s dues, the file of Ehab Jalal taking over the technical management of the team, and it is said after two matches that he failed. Perfect in managing Egyptian football.

The Egyptian poet Hisham Al-Gakh also expressed his opinion on the issue, saying, "A sad day for the entire Egyptian football, Al-Ahly, Zamalek and the youth team."

This is the youth team that has the hope and future of Egyptian football!!

Poor form and disappointing results. We bid farewell to the Nations Cup in the heart of Cairo from the first round without scoring even a single goal. A disappointing draw with Mozambique without goals, then a 1-0 defeat against Nigeria. Then a severe defeat against Senegal at Cairo Stadium 4-0 .. a spherical disaster
