Mohamed Fares defends Hossam Hassan and discusses Al Ahly SC updates

Media personality Mohamed Fares has called for an official apology to Egypt national team manager Hossam Hassan following intense criticism regarding his recent squad selections. The backlash centered on the inclusion of young striker Hamza Abdel Karim, with critics alleging the move was intended to benefit Al Ahly SC financially through potential European transfers. However, Fares noted that Abdel Karim’s performance has since drawn significant attention from Spanish media and Barcelona manager Hansi Flick.

In a separate discussion regarding Al Ahly SC, Fares addressed the club’s preparations for the upcoming Egyptian Premier League season. He stated that the club has closed discussions on player departures that do not meet management's requirements and has set firm financial terms for contract renewals. Fares urged supporters to focus on backing the institution rather than individual players as the team prepares for its season opener against Eastern Company SC.
