President of the Egyptian Football Association Hany Abou Rida has called an emergency meeting for Saturday to discuss the crisis between national team head coach Hossam Hassan and the players. This follows recent statements that angered several players. A source revealed that Abou Rida has asked Hossam Hassan to issue an apology statement in the coming hours to calm the players amid the current wave of anger and concerns about its impact on the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. If Hossam Hassan refuses to issue a statement or fails to calm and contain the players, the Egyptian Football Association may escalate the situation against him, which could lead to the termination of his contract.
