⭐ Waleed Soliman Reflects on Ramadan Sobhi’s Talent
Former Al Ahly star Waleed Soliman has commented on the situation surrounding Pyramids player Ramadan Sobhi following the confirmation of his four-year suspension, stressing that Sobhi was a highly talented player and one of the most notable talents he experienced at Al Ahly.
Speaking on television, Soliman said: “Ramadan Sobhi is a very, very talented player. We spent a lot of time with him at the club, and he deserved to reach a much bigger position, but that is life; no one gets everything.”
The comments reflect Soliman’s appreciation of Sobhi’s abilities and the expectations that surrounded the player from an early stage of his career.
⚖️ Four-Year Suspension Remains in Place
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) issued its decision on November 26, 2025, imposing a four-year period of ineligibility on Ramadan Sobhi after admitting the appeal filed by the World Anti-Doping Agency against the Egyptian hearing panel’s decision. CAS set aside the earlier decision and found an anti-doping rule violation, while crediting any provisional suspension already served toward the sanction.
On September 20, 2026, Sobhi’s challenge before the Swiss Federal Court against the CAS ruling was rejected, meaning the four-year suspension remains in effect, according to reports published following the decision.
🔎 The Case and Its Impact on Sobhi’s Future
The case stems from an anti-doping violation involving a sample provided by Ramadan Sobhi during the testing process. According to the CAS ruling, the player was found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation under Article 2.2 of the Egyptian Anti-Doping Regulations, resulting in a four-year period of ineligibility with credit for the provisional suspension already served.
With the appeal rejected by the Swiss Federal Court, Sobhi now faces a major challenge to his football career because of the length of his absence from competitive football.
