In her caption, Yousra expressed a philosophy that combines football and psychology, saying:

Legal Escalation: Mido Referred to Economic Court on Defamation Charges
On the legal front, significant developments are unfolding in the case against Ahmed Hossam "Mido," as the investigation authorities in Heliopolis decided to refer the case to the Economic Court. This follows a complaint filed by international referee Mahmoud El Bana, case number 4800 of 2025, accusing Mido of defamation and insulting him via social media platforms.
Previous Procedures and Mido’s Current Legal Status
Earlier, the prosecution had released Mido on bail of 10,000 EGP pending investigations. According to statements by lawyer Ahmed El Adawy, representing referee Mahmoud El Bana, the decision to refer the case to the Economic Court came after careful examination by the IT unit, given the court’s jurisdiction over electronic publishing and cybercrime cases.
Implications and Impact on the Sports and Media Scene
This case comes at a sensitive time, as the role of former athletes turned media figures grows in shaping the sports landscape. It highlights the urgent need for clear laws regulating the conduct of media and sports professionals alike. Moreover, it underscores the importance of respecting laws related to online publishing and protecting individuals from defamation and false accusations, especially amid the widespread use of social media that rapidly disseminates messages to a large audience.
