Pyramids Club decided to prevent the broadcast of its matches in the new season of the Egyptian Premier League, due to the failure to obtain its dues from the sponsoring company.
And Pyramids Club stated in an official statement today, Sunday, that it had sent an official letter to Presentation Sports, the owner of the TV broadcast rights for its matches in the Egyptian League, informing it of its decision not to broadcast its matches in the new local season, in light of the company’s failure to pay the financial dues in favor of the club throughout the previous two seasons.
It is noteworthy that Pyramids is associated with Presentation with a contract for television transmission only, away from sponsorship and advertising contracts, as is the case with most Egyptian clubs.
Pyramids added in his letter to the sponsoring company: “The board of directors of Pyramids Club would like to inform your esteemed company that it has taken a decision to prevent the broadcast of the club’s first team football matches in the Egyptian League or Egypt Cup.”
He explained that he was forced to take such a decision, in light of the failure of the company to implement its obligations towards the club for two whole seasons, during which Pyramids did not receive the financial compensation in exchange for the terms of the contract agreed upon between the club and the company, within the framework of the agreement on the rights to broadcast matches.
He continued, “Within the framework of the respectful relationship between the officials of Pyramids and the officials of your esteemed company, our club would like to inform you that there will be no future negotiations regarding broadcasting matches via satellite except through the settlement of the financial sums owed to Pyramids with the company during the last two seasons, estimated at 21,900,000 Egyptian pounds.”
The statement concluded: Knowing that the club does not mind transferring and broadcasting the matches after solving this problem, and settling the financial dues for broadcasting the matches of the new season, which the club begins with facing the Misr Club for Clearing on our stadium at the 30th of June Stadium on the 27th of this month.
