Al Ahly Demands Urgent Investigation into Age Fraud in Egyptian Youth Football
In a significant step, Egyptian football powerhouse Al Ahly has called for a prompt and comprehensive investigation into suspected age manipulation in youth football leagues. After recently appealing for a foreign expert to oversee Egypt’s refereeing committee, Al Ahly has once again reached out to the Egyptian Football Association, this time raising alarms about "age fraud" within youth teams.
In their official statement, Al Ahly conveyed that this issue poses "a genuine threat to the future of Egyptian football," urging the authorities to take the matter seriously, as it jeopardizes the integrity of the sport's foundation. The club highlighted the importance of safeguarding youth divisions, which are essential for nurturing promising talent for both clubs and national teams.
This appeal aligns with Al Ahly's ongoing efforts to promote reforms that encourage fairness and transparency in Egyptian football.
