The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) asked their African counterpart “Kaf” to re-pair the Egyptian youth team with their Tunisian counterpart at the North African Championship.
FilGoal.com was unique in the official stability of the Egyptian Federation in filing a complaint to the Confederation of African Football (CAF), as well as the North African Federation, due to the youth team crisis. (See details)
The Union statement came:
“Jamal Mohamed Ali, head of the youth national team delegation that is currently in Tunisia to participate in the North African Championship qualifying for the Youth Africa Cup of Nations, protested to the tournament’s organizing committee for not adopt the team’s roster for its match against Tunisia, which was supposed to take place today, in light of the contradictory results of the polls carried out on several of the team’s players, demanding a replay. “
At the same time, Walid Al-Attar, Executive Director of the Confederation, sent a similar protest on behalf of the Egyptian Football Association to the African Confederation, requesting a replay of the match for the same reasons.
The complete history
The swab that the Egyptian youth team underwent three days before the game in Libya, showed 16 cases infected by Coronavirus, in addition to Rabie Yassin, the team’s coach.
Given this fact, the Egyptian team was considered withdrawn against Libya in the first round of the North African U-20 Championship, which qualified for the 2021 Youth African Cup in Mauritania.
The Confederation of African Football Confederation (CAF) for the combined tournaments of the 2020/2021 season says that the minimum limit for any team to play a match is 15 players, including a goalkeeper, and this is not available in the national team Egyptian.
Here, the youth team decided to call in players from Egypt to fill in the number and play the rest of the tournament matches, hoping to qualify.
The two new players, Mustafa “Messi”, the Ceramica Cleopatra player, and Ahmed Hossam, the El Gouna player, arrived in Tunisia on Thursday morning, accompanied by a small delegation that also includes Mohamed Abu El-Ela, first doctor of the Egyptian team, and Mohamed Mahmoud, physiotherapist, to supervise the treatment of the wounded.
But the happy news stopped here, after Walid Maher, a spokesman for the youth team, announced the emergence of Tunisia’s new match result, which showed a positive display of new players from the existing strength in Tunisia from scratch, so that the situation returns to how it was and the number ready to face is only 14 players. What prevents the party.
Today Friday morning, the Egypt team revealed the negativity of the Egyptian team players and, therefore, the possibility of celebrating the match. But the problem is that the last swab fell outside the official framework, so the medical committee’s approval must be obtained to approve the swab results and hold the meeting.
After full consultations, the CAF decided to cancel the match and consider the Egyptian team a 2-0 loss to Tunisia.
