On Saturday, the club’s board of directors, headed by Yahya El-Koumi, issued an official statement confirming that he had registered his objection during the draw, which was rejected by the Competitions Committee of the Football Association and the Association of Clubs.
Al-Ismaili indicated in his statement that the draw was not organized in a fair manner, as “certain clubs were complimented at the expense of other clubs, which violates the principle of equal opportunities,” and “based on that, we decided to withdraw from the competition in protest against what happened, to preserve the rights of the ancient club and its fans.” “.
The Competitions Committee of the Football Association held the draw for the cup, starting from the round of 16 until the final match.
Before the start of the draw ceremony, the Chairman of the Competitions Committee and a member of the Board of Directors of the Football Association and the Association of Clubs, Amer Hussein, announced that the drawing process will be directed, so that Al-Ahly and Zamalek do not meet unless they reach the final match, contrary to what had been agreed upon by conducting the draw in an undirected manner. .
The draw resulted in the confrontation of Zamalek with Ismaili in the final price, while Al-Ahly meets with Egypt clearing in the same role.
