Hani Abu Raida Calls for More Clubs in Continentals

Engineer Hani Abu Rida, President of the Football Association, revealed the reasons behind the request to increase the number of clubs participating in continental tournaments. He pointed out that this comes in line with global developments, noting that the 2026 World Cup featured 48 teams and that future editions may include more teams. He confirmed that the request has been preliminarily studied but faced resistance from some associations. Consultations are ongoing with the African Union and the matter has been forwarded to the Executive Committee for approval in the upcoming season, with a focus on marketing and commercial conditions. Additionally, he clarified that the association is committed to the best interests of Egyptian football and operates in a neutral manner. He also stated that Zamalek Club has fully resolved its international legal issues, emphasizing that the federation does not favor any club individually and supports all clubs fairly.
