The Enforcement Department of the New Cairo Court is set to hold a public auction on Sunday, June 16, 2025, to sell all movable items and furniture inside Reza Abdel Aal’s villa (Villa No. 163 – Yasmin 1, First Settlement). This action enforces a final arbitral award ordering the recovery of over EGP 1.7 million in favor of Al-Nahar TV. The auction begins at 8 a.m. and will include electronics, valuable décor pieces, and high-end furnishings listed in the enforcement report dated January 29, 2025.

Case Background & Enforcement Procedure
In April 2025, the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (Case No. 1401/2020) issued a final award obligating Abdel Aal to pay EGP 1.7 million plus any accrued interest. Trenta Production & Distribution Company conducted the attachment under attorney Jallal M. J. Mousa and legal director Samar Jallal, with Al‑Nahar’s legal counsel Haitham Abbas present. All steps complied with the Civil and Commercial Enforcement Law, with formal notice published on the judicial portal.

Failed Family Challenge
Abdel Aal’s son filed Execution Disputes Court Case No. 77/2025 seeking to annul the attachment, claiming the items belonged to him under a lease agreement from his mother. The court dismissed the challenge, ruling that the lease did not establish legal ownership and that the enforcement report was the definitive record—clearing the way for the auction to proceed.
Financial & Media Implications
This auction marks a major escalation in the legal dispute between the former athlete‑turned‑broadcaster and Al‑Nahar TV over unpaid fees and contract claims. The forced sale of villa contents could impose new financial burdens on Abdel Aal, known for his outspoken sports commentary. Media and sports circles are watching closely for any official family statement or a last‑minute settlement ahead of the auction.

Important Notes for Bidders
The auction starts at 8 a.m. inside the villa; only pre‑registered bidders may enter.
A detailed inventory is available in the enforcement report at the Enforcement Department.
A 10% deposit of the hammer price is payable immediately upon winning a lot.
