The Al-Ahly Club Board of Directors issued an official statement announcing its position on the resumption of sports activity, highlighting the need to work to complete the current 2019-2020 season in accordance with the vision of state institutions in light of the spread of the new Corona virus “Covid-19”.
Al-Ahly’s statement came through his official website as follows:
Al-Ahly Club announced its position on the resumption of sports activity, as it sees the need to work to complete the 2019/2020 soccer season at the time determined by state institutions in accordance with its vision to ensure a safe return that contribute to achieving all health, financial and sports goals. This came after Captain Mahmoud Al-Khatib, President. The club held extensive consultations with members of the board of directors today … The club summarized its vision in the following points:
– Making any decision regarding the football season other than completing competitions, even at a later time, results in depriving clubs of the rest of their marketing profits in accordance with their contracts with the sponsoring companies and the rights of transmission etc.
– Al-Ahly and other clubs assumed the equivalent of 85% of the salaries of the players and technical, administrative and medical devices for the current season. On the other hand, the clubs did not receive the same percentage of their financial profits (sponsorship – transmission – … etc.) and if the activity is canceled, you will not get More than 50%
– There is no reason to rush to cancel the decision, especially since there is still enough time after the Olympics were postponed to next year, as well as the African qualifiers for the teams. And if we take into account that the current season started last September and, therefore, the new season can start in October, as it happened in the past, and what about the pause period from May to October if it is canceled, and There are three Egyptian clubs seeking strong friction before completing their African Championship career.
Canceling the activity results in significant technical losses and wastes the legitimate rights of the clubs that have had legal positions in the competitions in which they participate, there are clubs that spent a lot to achieve their goals, either in the coronation or the representation of Egyptian football in continental championships or attaining advanced positions or not declining or promoting to the highest degree Among competitions, perhaps the world’s largest patrols (Italy – Spain – England – Germany) still adhere to the resumption of activity to preserve the legal and technical rights of all clubs. Even the European leagues that were canceled were concerned about the rights of the clubs and their legal positions as was done in In France, the Netherlands and Belgium.
– The abolition of soccer activity, of course followed by the cancellation of all other activities in other games, resulting in the demobilization of devices and workers in these games to get rid of the burdens on their monthly wages, and this is inconsistent with the guidelines of the state and its institutions to preserve the rights of employees and workers, as well as temporary employment.
– The state, with all its institutions, is doing everything possible to reach the difficult equation between safe return, the resumption of activity and the preservation of the safety of citizens on the one hand, and the rotation of the production wheel. on the other hand, which is what most countries in the world are looking for.
In conclusion, the Al-Ahly Club reiterated its affirmation of the need to work for the resumption of sports activity and the preservation of material and sports rights and legal centers for all clubs. Taking into account the vision and evaluation of the state of the situation in all its aspects, it is the most capable of preserving the security of all.
