Football Association: The crisis of the trio excluded from the national team has ended – Al-Shorouk

Ihab Al-Komi, a member of the Football Association’s Board of Directors, announced the position of the trio, Imam Ashour, Tariq Hamed, and Hussein Al-Shahat, with the Egyptian national team after the crisis of their exclusion from participating in the Sierra Leone match.

The Football Association had announced that Vitoria had excluded 3 players from the national team camp before facing Sierra Leone because of what they did after the end of the Djibouti match by violating the rules.

Ihab Al-Koumi told MBC Egypt: “The penalty was announced by the Football Association as soon as it was issued by Vitoria’s technical director, who has the technical vision for their return to the next team camp.”

He added: “Vitoria’s decision to exclude the trio was only related to the Sierra Leone match.”

He continued: “I think that Vitoria was aiming with his decision to send a message to all players about the importance of adhering to the rules and discipline within the national team’s camp, and the message has already arrived and the matter is over.”

The Egyptian national team, led by its Portuguese coach Rui Vitoria, achieved a good start during the month of November in the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup finals after winning the first round in Cairo over Djibouti 5-0, and winning in Liberia over the Sierra Leone national team with a score of 2-0.
