Hossam Hassan's remarks provoke anger in Egypt

Coach Hossam Hassan spoke about the exclusion of Egypt national team goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shenawy from the current camp. He described him as previously "finished" before he participated with the national team and regained his form. His statements sparked widespread controversy in Egyptian sports circles, especially considering that El-Shenawy is regarded as one of the team's key leaders and has won numerous titles with Al Ahly. Immediately, the head of the Egyptian Football Association, Hany Abou Rida, condemned the remark and defended El-Shenawy's standing, affirming that he is one of the dedicated players of Egyptian football. Former goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary supported Abou Rida's comments, stating that El-Shenawy has contributed a lot to Egypt. The controversy then extended to Al Ahly Club, where officials expressed their displeasure with Hossam Hassan’s comments, ahead of the upcoming match between Egypt and Angola in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
