Get to Know El-Khatib Message to Ahly, Zamalek Fans

Chairman of Al Ahly SC Mahmoud Al Khatib thanked the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and all state institutions that assumed their responsibilities in order to hold the final match of the CAF Champions League in Egypt, and helped in making it come out in a way that reflects the civilized image of the country, despite the pressures that surrounded it for quite some time.

Al Ahly chairman also saluted the armed forces and the police, who bear the greatest burden of all occasions, for the sake of the safety and security of all Egyptians, which is done in all the tournaments that are held on Egyptian soil.

Al Khatib also greeted Al Ahly and Zamalek teams, who have made a great effort from the beginning of the competition until they reached the final match; which made Egypt guarantee the championship's trophy whoever wins, which is a plus for the two clubs.

He then indicated the need for continuous support for all bonds of friendliness and mutual respect among the elements of the sports system, declaring his firm rejection of offending any of those elements, whether it was a player, coach, or official, whatever his position; especially since sports is a means of rapprochement and tolerance, not distancing, as winning a championship or losing another does not represent the end of the world, and sportsmanship must be the predominant language among all.

The president of the Red Castle then called on all football fans, to turn the page of any previous offenses issued by some, saying: “We must rise above them, and our country needs to join forces and stand behind its leaders in order to advance and achieve all our aspirations."

"Indeed, we must make sure that the relationship between sports entities remains constant and well-established because it is greater than the result of a match or winning any championship.”

In the end, Al Khatib renewed and extended his felicitations and congratulations to the members and fans of Al Ahly, stressing his sincere appreciation for their support and support for the club throughout the past periods.
