In a major sports news episode, Zamalek Club players Abdel-Wahid al-Sayed, Mostafa Shalaby and Nabil Emad Donga were pardoned by the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, following accusations of assault following the match between Zamalek and Pyramids held in Abu Dhabi on October 20.
This pardon decision reflects the strong ties between the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, highlighting Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s desire to strengthen these historic bilateral relations.
According to the official spokesperson for the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Mohamed al-Shazly, a statement sent to journalists revealed that coordination with Emirati institutions to resolve this crisis has borne fruit.
It is expected that in the coming hours, the return of the players will be officially announced, thus ending this delicate period.
Previously, the Abu Dhabi Court in the United Arab Emirates had decided to imprison the director of Zamalek Football Club, Abdel-Wahid al-Sayed, as well as players Mostafa Shalaby and Nabil Emad Donga for a period of one month, accompanied by a fine of 200,000 dirhams for each of them.
This pardon announcement represents a happy outcome for the entire football world and underlines the importance of diplomatic and sporting ties between the two countries. It should also serve as a lesson for the future, highlighting the importance of fair play and respect in the world of sport, regardless of the context.
In a world where tensions and rivalries can sometimes take over, this pardon decision reaffirms the importance of dialogue, understanding and forgiveness to resolve conflicts and promote a culture of peace and collaboration. Hopefully this experience will serve as a lesson to all those involved in sport for a future where respect and camaraderie will always prevail.
