Egyptian football authorities fine and suspend five players and one club official

The Egyptian Professional Clubs Association has announced disciplinary sanctions against several players and an official following the conclusion of the eighth round of the Egyptian Premier League.

The latest round of fixtures, which ended last Saturday ahead of the November international break, saw a number of players and a club official punished for disciplinary offences during their respective matches.

Modern Sport team coordinator Samir Ali received a one-match suspension and a fine of EGP 10,000 following his dismissal during his side’s encounter against Al Ahly.

El Gouna midfielder Alpha Toure was also handed a one-match ban and fined EGP 5,000 after being sent off during his team’s clash against Petrojet for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity.

Meanwhile, Tala’ea El-Gaish will be without two players for their next league assignment following disciplinary incidents in their meeting with Al-Ittihad Alexandria.

Khaled Bassiouni has been suspended for one match and fined EGP 5,000 after accumulating his third yellow card of the campaign.

His teammate Mohamed Hany was also handed a one-match suspension and a fine of EGP 2,500 after receiving two yellow cards in the same encounter, resulting in his dismissal.

In another disciplinary decision, Mohamed Hamdi of El Sharqia Enppi has been suspended for one match and fined EGP 5,000 after picking up his third yellow card during the fixture against Al-Qanah.

Abu Qir Fertilizers midfielder Youssef Hamdi completes the list of players sanctioned following the eighth round. He received a one-match suspension and a fine of EGP 5,000 after accumulating three yellow cards in his team’s encounter against Ghazl El Mahalla.

The latest disciplinary decisions mean the affected clubs will have to cope without the sanctioned individuals when domestic league action resumes after the international break.
