The Competition Committee of the Egyptian Football Association has announced a series of disciplinary decisions regarding matches in the second-tier competition and the Egypt Cup, including financial fines and suspensions. The most notable decisions involve Ismaily’s fine for collective insults and the sanctions imposed on Mansoura after the team withdrew from and failed to complete its match against Farco. ⚽🔥
The decisions also included disciplinary measures against several club officials and players as the committee continued applying the competition regulations to incidents recorded during the recent fixtures.
Ismaily Fined EGP 10,000
The Competition Committee decided to impose a 10,000 Egyptian pound fine on Ismaily following collective insults during the Telecom Egypt vs Ismaily match.
The committee stated that individuals associated with Ismaily directed collective insults toward the referees, the opposing team’s technical staff and its players, resulting in the financial penalty.
The decision reflects the committee’s efforts to limit inappropriate crowd behavior inside stadiums, particularly as repeated incidents can lead to further sanctions.
Mansoura Lose 0-2 to Farco
Mansoura received the largest number of sanctions following the team’s withdrawal from and failure to complete its match against Farco on August 28, 2026.
The Competition Committee applied Article 51 of the Competition Regulations and officially declared Mansoura defeated by a 0-2 scoreline in favor of Farco.
The decision gives Farco the official result while recording a defeat for Mansoura and adjusting the team’s position in the competition standings after the penalties are implemented. 🏆
Three Additional Points Deducted
The punishment did not stop at declaring Mansoura defeated. The committee also decided to deduct three additional points from Mansoura’s tally, separate from the points lost as a result of the defeat.
A points deduction can have a major impact on a team’s position, particularly in a competitive league where every point becomes important throughout the season.
Mansoura therefore face both sporting and financial consequences that could create additional pressure during the upcoming rounds.
EGP 40,000 Fine
The Competition Committee also imposed a 40,000 Egyptian pound fine on Mansoura, equal to twice the competition registration fee, because the team failed to complete the Farco match.
The fine comes in addition to the other sanctions imposed on the club following the incident.
Memorandum Concerning Mansoura President
The committee also decided to submit a memorandum to the Egyptian Football Association Board regarding the president of Mansoura Club.
The published decision did not specify what action could ultimately be taken, but the memorandum opens the door for further examination of the administrative responsibilities connected to the incident.
The step shows that the committee is addressing the matter from more than just a sporting perspective. 📢
Additional Fine for Collective Insults
The committee imposed another EGP 10,000 fine on Mansoura after individuals associated with the club were found to have collectively insulted the referees.
This penalty is separate from the withdrawal-related fine, increasing the financial consequences faced by the club following the Farco match.
The decision also highlights the committee’s approach of treating each violation independently under the competition regulations.
Players Affairs Director Suspended
The Competition Committee suspended Yasser El-Sayed Abdel Wahed, Mansoura’s players affairs director, for one match.
He was also fined EGP 2,000, with the sanction being issued after he was sent off for protesting during the match.
He will therefore miss the team’s next fixture as a result of the disciplinary decision.
Sporting Director Suspended
The committee also suspended Hesham Samir Mohamed Ibrahim, Mansoura’s sporting director, for one match and fined him EGP 2,000.
The punishment was likewise issued following his dismissal for protesting during the Farco match.
The decision means multiple members of Mansoura’s administrative staff were sanctioned alongside the club itself.
Aluminium Player Sanctioned in Egypt Cup
The Competition Committee’s decisions also covered the Egypt Cup, specifically the Aluminium vs Senzo match played on August 25, 2026.
The committee suspended Mohamed Yousry Saad, an Aluminium player, for three matches and imposed a 3,000 Egyptian pound fine.
The punishment followed his dismissal for striking an opponent without the ball, an incident that carries a disciplinary penalty under competition regulations.
Strong Message From the Competition Committee
The decisions send a clear message to clubs, players and officials about the importance of following competition regulations and maintaining discipline inside stadiums.
The sanctions went beyond incidents occurring directly in play and also covered crowd behavior, administrative protests and failure to complete matches.
The committee’s decisions demonstrate that violations can result in sporting, financial and individual sanctions depending on the nature of the incident and the parties responsible. ⚖️
Difficult Period Ahead for Mansoura
Mansoura now face a difficult period after receiving several sanctions. The club has been declared 0-2 losers against Farco, deducted three additional points and fined, while two of its officials have also been suspended.
The club must also wait for the outcome of the memorandum submitted to the Football Association Board concerning the president.
Mansoura’s administration will need to address these issues while refocusing the team on upcoming fixtures and avoiding any further disciplinary problems.
Ismaily Must Avoid Repeated Misconduct
Ismaily, meanwhile, have received a financial penalty for collective insults, putting additional responsibility on the club to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Crowd-related sanctions remain an important issue for the Competition Committee as the Football Association seeks to maintain discipline inside stadiums and prevent abuse directed at referees or opposing teams.

- Ismaily fined EGP 10,000 for collective insults toward referees, the opposing technical staff and players.
