The Al-Ahly club’s board of directors decided to impose a fine of half a million pounds on Hussein Al-Shahat, the team’s player, in connection with the events of the team’s match against Pyramids.

“Although the club has achieved what its fans wanted for this season in terms of the tournaments it has participated in and has presented a distinguished season, this will not justify allowing any of the elements of the system to deviate from established controls…Therefore, it has been decided to fine Hussein Al-Shahat, the first team football player, half a million pounds, after considering the player’s admission of error and his apology for what he did.”
