The Football Association issued an official statement, this evening, Wednesday, clarifying its position on the suspension of an Egyptian coach by the Confederation of African Football, after it was proven that he had forged a training license.
The CAF Disciplinary Committee, headed by Raymond Hack, had earlier decided to ban Egyptian coach Ahmed Adel Ibrahim from practicing any activity related to African football for a period of five years due to the forgery of his training license.
In its statement, the Football Association clarified the truth of what the media circulated in the last hours about addressing the Confederation of African Football, regarding the suspension of an Egyptian coach, after it was proven that he had forged a training license.
The statement said: “The decision was issued by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to suspend the coach, after submitting a license attributed to him.
He added, “Training licenses of all kinds are not issued by the Egyptian Football Association, as they are issued by the Confederation of African Football.”
He continued, “The Egyptian Football Association, represented by Dr. Gamal Mohamed Ali, Director of the Coaches Department of the Federation, reviews the names of all Egyptian coaches who have obtained training courses, directly with the African Union, to make a complete inventory of the names of all Egyptian coaches who have obtained training licenses in their various categories.”
