🔥 Egyptian FA announces major financial support plan for Egyptian clubs
The Egyptian Football Association board, headed by engineer Hany Abu Rida, has approved a number of important decisions aimed at developing Egyptian football through a comprehensive financial support program for popular and historic clubs across different governorates.
The new plan is worth 70 million EGP, including financial support for clubs, promotion rewards, and prizes for youth and junior competitions, in an attempt to strengthen clubs with large fan bases and improve the level of domestic competitions. 🏆✨
The move comes as part of the federation’s strategy to expand the football base in Egypt and provide better opportunities for clubs outside the traditional top teams, helping them compete in a more stable environment.
⚽ Financial support for 120 clubs in Second and Third Divisions
The Egyptian FA decided to allocate a major part of the program to support 120 popular clubs participating in the Second and Third Divisions.
Each Third Division club will receive financial support of at least 100,000 EGP, while Second Division clubs will receive support starting from 300,000 EGP to help them deal with the financial challenges of domestic competitions.
The decision aims to help smaller and medium-sized clubs continue their projects and compete despite the increasing financial pressures.
⭐ One million EGP support for popular Second Division clubs
The federation also approved special financial support for several popular clubs participating in the Second Division "A", with each club receiving one million EGP.
The benefiting clubs are:
🔹 Ismaily
🔹 Mansoura
🔹 Tersana
🔹 Baladiyat El Mahalla
🔹 Tanta
🔹 Dayrout
🔹 El Nasr
The support aims to help these historic clubs regain their strength and compete more effectively in the upcoming period.
🏆 5 million EGP reward for promotion to the Premier League
In another important decision, the Egyptian FA approved a financial reward of 5 million EGP for any popular club that succeeds in securing promotion to the Egyptian Premier League.
The decision is designed to increase motivation among clubs with large fan bases and encourage them to return to the top level of Egyptian football.
👶 10 million EGP for youth and junior competitions
The federation’s program is not limited to senior teams, as the board allocated 10 million EGP in prizes for youth and junior competitions.
For the first time, financial rewards will be given to the top-ranked teams at branch level in competitions for players born between 2007 and 2013.
Additional rewards will also be provided to sector champions and national competition winners across all youth categories.
🔥 Discovering talents remains a major goal
The Egyptian FA confirmed that technical directors in branches and sectors will continuously monitor youth and junior competitions.
The goal is to discover the best young talents and nominate them for national teams, helping build a strong generation capable of representing Egyptian football in the future.
The federation believes investment in youth development is the key path toward improving the game and creating a wider pool of talented players.
📢 A new step toward developing Egyptian football
