Ahmed Mujahid, a former member of the Egyptian Football Association, said that affairs in the Egyptian Federation were not stable vis-à-vis the African and International Football Associations, which caused Hani Abu Raida not to run for the presidency of the KAF and keep him away from the scene.
Mujahid said in the program “Stadium 9090”, saying: “Things appeared in the Football Association unstable before the Confederations of African and International Football, in the presence of a temporary committee to take over the task after the resignation of the previous council immediately after from the start of the Nations Cup last year.
He continued: “It was assumed that the term of this commission would expire last July, and in November new elections would be held, but with the suspension of various bodies such as the Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Sports to hold the new elections, to the FIFA and CAF felt that Hani Abu Raida is far from the stage and lost his power and control over the course of affairs in Egypt, so his chances of fleeing decreased. “
He continued: “In one of the meetings of the African Union, the idea of establishing a CAF Congress in Egypt was raised, but one of the main CAF officials responded that how can you establish a Congress in Egypt and it doesn’t have a football federation? “
He continued: “The CAF regulations do not require the presence of Hani Abu Rida as president of the Egyptian Football Association, but he seemed removed from the stage, which weakens his chances in the competition.”
He concluded: “I said earlier that if Abu Raida does not return to the presidency of the Football Association, he will not run for the presidency of the CAF.”
So far, current President Ahmed Ahmed, Jacques Anoma from Ivorian, Patrice Mutsibi from South Africa and Ahmed Ould Yahya from Mauritania have run for the presidency of CAF.
The BBC brought bad news for Ahmed Ahmed, the current president of the CAF, as the Malagasy is about to be sanctioned by the FIFA ethics committee for banning him from any football-related activity. (See details)
