The former FIFA director was admitted to a private hospital at the end of last August, after suffering a health problem, before his condition worsened in recent days.

The Egyptian Football Association and the Volleyball Federation mourned Azmi Mujahid, and the Zamalek Club board of directors issued an official statement mourning the deceased, describing him as “one of the club’s most prominent volleyball stars.”

Hamada Anwar, a member of the Board of Directors of the Zamalek Club, said in a statement to Sky News Arabia that Mujahid is of great stature and has an honorable history in “Zamalek”.

He added: “We lost a lot in his death because he has influential fingerprints in Egyptian sports, as well as his humanitarian role, for which he was famous among his close colleagues and collaborators.”

A member of the Zamalek Board of Directors explained that it was possible to open the club’s doors to receive condolences for the deceased, but the outbreak of the new Corona virus prevents this, in line with the government’s instructions for social distancing.

Anwar assured Sky News Arabia that “Zamalek Club management is never behind the club’s stars, and is always proactive in supporting them and their families during difficult times.”

Mujahid served as a member of the Zamalek board of directors for 8 years between 19997 and 2005, and intended to run for the club’s presidency in the upcoming elections, he confirmed in televised statements.

Through its official website, the Egyptian Al-Ahly Club lamented Mujahid, saying: “Captain Mahmoud Al-Khatib, the president of the club and the members of the board of directors and the executive director and the sports sectors, cries with great sadness and grief to Captain Azmy Mujahid, Director of the Football Association’s Monitoring Department, and former Egyptian and Zamalek volleyball player who passed away today. “
