A source in the Appeals Committee reveals the reasons behind referring Zamalek's complaint against "Zizo" and Al Ahly to the Players' Affairs Department.
Zamalek’s complaint against Zizo and Al Ahly has been referred to the Players’ Affairs Committee to examine the contractual and financial dispute.
Sources within the Appeals Committee of the Egyptian Football Association have confirmed that Zamalek’s complaint against Ahmed Sayed “Zizo” and Al Ahly was submitted with all contractual documents and financial invoices complete. This prompted the committee to refer the case to the Players’ Affairs Committee, which holds exclusive jurisdiction over such disputes. The committee is tasked with thoroughly reviewing each clause of the contract and all financial obligations, including Zizo’s absence from training and any delayed salaries or bonuses, before issuing a final ruling that all parties must comply with once announced.
The sources added that the committee is scheduled to hold its initial hearing within the next few days, with representatives from Zamalek, Al Ahly, and the player’s agent in attendance. Each party will be summoned to present their statements and submit supporting evidence. The committee will then begin deliberations to prepare its report in accordance with the unified regulations of the Football Association. The standard timeframe for resolving such disputes is 30 days, which may be extended under exceptional circumstances if case files remain incomplete or new documents requiring further investigation are submitted.
Regarding procedural rights, the sources emphasized that any ruling issued by the Players’ Affairs Committee may be appealed to the Grievances Committee within 15 days of notification. This ensures a clear channel for further legal review by the highest sporting judiciary within the Association. The rulings may range from financial fines and compensations to disciplinary sanctions. All involved parties are entitled to request clarifications or submit additional evidence before the appeal deadline, reflecting the Association’s commitment to upholding sports justice and protecting the rights of players and clubs alike.
