Dispute between His Excellency Minister Turki Al Shiekh with Mahmoud Al Khatib, President of Al Ahly Club Board of Directors

Mr. Turki Al Shiekh, the Former Saudi Minister of Sports and current Minister of Entertainment in KSA and President of Arab Federation of Football and President of Football Islamic Solidarity, is considered one of the most famous and controversial figures in the Arab Nation. However, it is always agreed that he presented a lot of support to the Arab Sport and Egyptian Sport in particular, through his support to the major Arab and African clubs in Egypt, Al Ahly and Zamalek Clubs, Poles of Egyptian Football. There is no doubt that everybody knows about the breaches committed against him from the management of Al Ahly Club, through denying his support and financial donations to the management of the club. He granted the amount of EGP 6 million in support of the election campaign for the current management of the club, which contributed to sweeping the competitor Mahmoud Taher and his list. The support extended to include paying an amount exceeding EGP 260 million through a very short time, not exceeding five months, supporting deals of the first football team in Al Ahly Club. Despite all that, he was exposed to breaches and severe offenses to his person and denial of all his efforts and financial and in-kind donations to the management of the club. He, therefore, appointed Mr. Mohamed Hamoda, who could face the club management no matter how popular it is. He filed a number of complaints to the Public Prosecution against management of Al Ahly Club to investigate in the financial breaches and incidents of insults, defamation and offenses that his excellency was exposed to. These complaints are still under investigation, and the public prosecution formed a committee at the highest level to examine all financial breaches and incidents stated in the reports and complaints submitted by Dr. Mohamed Hamoda. In addition, Dr. Hamoda held a number of press conferences to clarify facts to audience of Al Ahly club, in which there were many surprises such as the huge amounts that Mr. minister introduced. Dr. Mohamed Hamoda also responded to the smear campaigns on social media platforms and could stop such offenses against his excellency Minister Turki Al Shiekh.
