The article addresses the phenomenon of Egyptian wrestlers fleeing training missions and international competition delegations. Over a span of 72 hours, two incidents shook the sports community: one in Rome and another in Slovakia. These events led to the referral of the case to the public prosecutor and the suspension of the head of the wrestling delegation due to negligence in overseeing the team. Investigations revealed the existence of an international network led by a former athlete, operating to attract Egyptian wrestlers to emigrate to America and Europe in exchange for money, aiming to secure residency and citizenship, and compete under those countries' banners. Several players stated that the main reasons for fleeing are lack of sufficient support, low salaries, and the absence of a suitable training environment, prompting some to travel in search of better opportunities despite unfulfilled promises and false assurances. The situation underscores the urgent need to address the financial and psychological factors driving players to escape, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of the national sports system and supporting the athletes to improve the future of wrestling in Egypt.
