The head of the competition committee, Amer Hussein, responded to Sayed Abdel Hafiz, director of football Al Ahly club, after the statements of the latter on "unfairness in the distribution of Egyptian league matches."
"Ahli has competed in two continental championships this season, while Zamalek participated in a championship after standing for the competition last year earlier," said Amer Hussein. "He said.
"Ahli did not play the local matches between the knockout stages of the last edition of the African Champions League because there were only 25 players in the list at the time, so we agreed with the clubs to increase the number of players mid-season, 30, until they play local matches between African matches. "
"In the preliminary stages of the CAF Champions League, we only know the dates of the matches before a short period, unlike the group stage in which the matches were set in advance. ", said Amer Hussein. "When he played on December 14 and 17, he had a match against Confederation on the 21st, which was postponed two days later due to events in Ethiopia."
"So I could not play Al Ahli in the league on December 18 with a match against Ethiopia on the 21st," he said.
He added: "Ahli also played his matches at the Burj Al Arab Stadium, but Zamalek did not agree to play against the subcontractors in Cairo and therefore in Alexandria."
"Ahli will play Zamalek on March 30 and then on April 2. Because we do not know when his match will be in the quarter-finals of the African Champions League," said Amer Hussain, referring to the Al Ahly calendar. at the end of the month and the beginning of next month. The qualification – God willing – will be on April 5 or 6, and we do not know if it was a match outside or at home.
"If this African match was scheduled for April 6 and Al Ahli demanded that the April 2 match of the league be postponed for 24 hours, I have no problem answering this request, all this my concern is to play the game. "
"The most important principle is to play a league match between the two African matches," he said.
"Al-Ahli did not want to play the game from the ground, and not postpone it for a day, and Zamalek also tried not to play this week, which is impossible, so we had to face to Arab entrepreneurs for 24 hours. "
What's happened?
Sayed Abdel Hafiz angrily said a few minutes before Amer Hussein's speech, and asked why the postponement of the Zamalek match and Arab Contractors will be held Thursday after Thursday instead of Wednesday in the same week.
"Why is the meeting between Zamalek and Arab contractors postponed and our request to postpone the meeting of Al Ittihad of Alexandria has not been approved," said Abdel Hafez at the meeting. from his team's 4-0 victory over Petrojet.
"We are the most affected team in two games in 48 hours and six times this season, we face Esperance and come back two days later to play in the league."
"We are facing Jemaa Abba Guevara, then we return to the league in 48 hours, I will now face Zamalek on March 30 and two days later I will meet Al Ittihad from Alexandria."
"I know the conditions are tough and that everyone is united to get through this season, but when I discover another team's decision to support him because of African participation, I also have the right to ask about me. "
"I know that the Confederation is stronger than the African Champions League, but that Zamalek represents Egypt in Africa and I do not represent anything, or that I come from the north coast and I do not come back from Africa. 39; Ethiopia ".
"Some have made the Competition Committee look like Abu Lahab, but I'm in numbers and I say to all those who were hurt by the compact table, but now I'm asking them about justice and equity like me. " (See details)
