Football Association Has Not Signed the Super Cup Agreement
Speaking on “Stad Masr”, presented by journalist Abdel Nasser Zidan on Modern MTI, Mohamed Mahdy said that the Egyptian Football Association has not yet signed the Egyptian Super Cup agreement with the UAE Football Association.

The sports critic explained that the current negotiations involve both the financial and technical aspects of the tournament, with the Egyptian Football Association seeking to improve the financial return from staging the Egyptian Super Cup in the UAE.
According to Mohamed Mahdy’s statements, the Egyptian Football Association is seeking to increase the hosting payment from $750,000 to $1 million, while also attempting to raise the value of the tournament’s financial prizes.
The move reflects the association’s interest in securing a higher financial return from the Super Cup, alongside discussions over the technical and organizational details of the competition.
What Happened to Al Ahly’s Prize Money? 💰
Mohamed Mahdy also revealed details concerning Al Ahly and the club’s title bonus from winning the Egyptian Super Cup last season.
