Egypt FA set to discuss Hossam Hassan’s contract and four key football matters

The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) is expected to hold a key meeting on Saturday (today), with the future of national team coach Hossam Hassan’s contract among four major issues scheduled for discussion.

According to journalist Amir Hisham, the federation’s board will review several important football matters, including amendments to Hassan’s contract, the appointment of a technical director, the selection of a new Olympic team coaching staff, and the formation of a new referees’ committee ahead of the upcoming season.

The meeting comes as the EFA prepares for the next stage of Egyptian football, with several managerial and administrative positions still awaiting confirmation.

Amir Hisham revealed the planned agenda during his televised programme on Modern Sports, outlining the four principal files expected to dominate discussions.

Hossam Hassan’s contract tops the agenda

One of the federation’s priorities is the review of Hossam Hassan’s contract as head coach of the Egyptian national team.

According to Amir Hisham, board members will discuss the contractual terms as well as a salary increase included in the proposed agreement.

No final decision has yet been announced, but the issue is expected to receive significant attention during the meeting.

The contract review represents one of the most closely watched topics on the federation’s agenda as Egypt continues planning for future international competitions.

Technical director position also under review

Another major item concerns the appointment of a new technical director for the Egyptian Football Association.

Amir Hisham said Shawky Gharib is among the leading candidates being considered for the position.

The role is expected to play an important part in overseeing technical development within Egyptian football, making the appointment one of the federation’s key decisions.

The board is expected to evaluate the matter alongside the other administrative appointments scheduled for discussion.

Olympic team coaching staff expected to be discussed

The EFA will also examine plans for the national Olympic team’s technical staff.

According to Amir Hisham, Moataz Gamal has emerged as the leading candidate to take charge of the side.

The appointment is expected to be another significant decision as the federation continues shaping its coaching structure across different national teams.

No official announcement has yet been made regarding the position.

Referees’ committee among remaining priorities

The fourth issue on the meeting’s agenda concerns the creation of a new committee responsible for managing referees during the upcoming football season.

Amir Hisham reported that Essam Abdel Fattah is currently the leading candidate to head the committee.

The appointment forms part of the federation’s wider preparations ahead of the new domestic campaign.

With four important matters scheduled for discussion, Saturday’s meeting could shape several key areas of Egyptian football administration in the months ahead.

Although no decisions have yet been confirmed, the outcomes are expected to influence both the national teams and the governance of the domestic game.
