Upon the instructions of Al Ahly’s President, Captain Mahmoud ElKhatib, our board member and Al Ahly’s coordinator for FIFA, Khaled Mortagy sent an official letter to FIFA to clarify the behavior of Mahmoud Kahraba and Hussein El Shahaat.
The players were suspended from our game against Palmeiras of Brazil as they did not adhere to the precautionary measures following our game against FC Bayern Munich.
Al Ahly affirmed to FIFA that our club pays full respect to the tournament’s regulations and precautionary measures, especially that their behavior was not intentional.
