Three players from Egypt's Zamalek Club have been sentenced to one month in prison and fined Dh200,000 each following an incident during the Egyptian Super Cup semi-final against Pyramids Club on October 20 in Abu Dhabi.
The players; Nabil Emad Dongha, Mustafa Shalaby, and Abdel Wahed El Sayed, the club's football director, were found guilty of assaulting public security staff and inciting riots. Reports from Arabic media indicate that they were summoned to a police station for questioning on October 21, the day after the match.
The court's ruling highlighted that the charges were supported by victim testimonies and security camera footage, which confirmed the defendants' failure to adhere to organizational regulations.
