Syndicate urges Football Association over critics
The article concerns the decision of the Egyptian Journalists Syndicate to show solidarity with journalists who had faced legal persecution by Hossam and Ibrahim Hassan, the technical and medical directors of the national team. This was due to the journalists publishing news and critical comments about sports affairs. The syndicate affirmed that press freedom and sports criticism are legitimate rights, and that resorting to legal action before professional response can be seen as an attempt to silence and intimidate journalists. The syndicate called on the Egyptian Football Association to intervene, to engage in dialogue, and to persuade Hossam and Ibrahim Hassan to withdraw the complaints, thereby maintaining a respectful relationship between the media and sports authorities. It emphasized the importance of preserving media independence and the right to express opinions freely and responsibly.
