Khaled Abu Bakr's commentary on the suspicion of public fund misuse at Zamalek Club and his call to support the club
Media personality Khaled Abu Bakr commented on the Public Prosecution's statement regarding the suspicion of public fund misuse at Zamalek Club, saying that the danger lies in the wording of the statement itself and the existence of this suspicion, stating: "Zamalek must wake up."
Abu Bakr added during his program on Al-Nahar TV channel yesterday, Wednesday, that: "The current members of Zamalek Club's board of directors, and I personally know some of them as friends, are people who do not waste public funds from my point of view, but they may have made mistakes, and that is what worries me."
He continued: "These individuals have donated millions in favor of the club, and I fear that there might be violations of legal procedures, but I doubt intentional waste of funds," emphasizing that the case is before the Public Prosecution and investigations are ongoing.
He pointed out that he speaks as an Egyptian before being a fan of Al Ahly Club, adding that Zamalek is not just a club but part of modern Egypt's sports history, and it is one of the two pillars of Egyptian football, and the Egyptian league is incomplete without Zamalek, making its preservation necessary.
He called on the fans of Zamalek and other clubs to stand by Zamalek, saying: "This is not a Zamalek or Al Ahly issue, this is an Egyptian issue.. All clubs must stand by the club to preserve this great sports heritage."
He added that he does not rule out an initiative from clubs to help Zamalek if the club requests support, and as a fan of Al Ahly, he will stand by it because it is part of our history.
The Public Prosecution had issued an official statement regarding the land of Zamalek Club in October Gardens, which was withdrawn due to suspicion related to the misuse of public funds.
