Al Ahly’s delegation received an official letter from FIFA stating that Hussein El Shahaat and Mahmoud Kahraba are not allowed to participate in our next game against Brazil’s Palmeiras.

FIFA’s decision to ban El Shahaat and Kahraba from Al Ahly’s next game is due to the fact that both players didn’t follow the precautionary measures after our last game against FC Bayern Munich.

Al Ahly will play against Brazil’s Palmeiras on Thursday in the third-place playoff of the FIFA Club World Cup, held in Qatar from 4-11 February.
