Imam Ashour Faces a History of Disciplinary Actions Ahead of Young Africans Clash
Midfielder Imam Ashour is under pressure after missing the trip to Tanzania with Al Ahly, following a string of fines and disciplinary measures throughout his career with the club.
Al Ahly midfielder Imam Ashour has faced multiple fines and disciplinary actions despite his significant contributions on the pitch. His most notable penalties include:
-
January 2026: Record fine of 1.5 million EGP after missing the team’s trip to Tanzania without permission and turning off his phone.
-
November 2024: One million EGP fine following a verbal clash with team captain Mohamed El-Shenawy in the locker room.
-
September 2025: Approx. 500,000 EGP fine for posting on social media without club authorization.
This pattern shows recurring disciplinary challenges for Ashour. The club has launched an urgent investigation after he failed to join the team’s flight to Tanzania on Thursday morning ahead of the upcoming CAF Champions League match against Young Africans on Saturday.
A source confirmed that the technical staff and delegation waited for Ashour at Cairo Airport, but he did not show up, causing significant frustration within the club. New and possibly stricter sanctions are expected.
