Why Egypt Boycotted Post Match Press Conference
Published: March 25, 2016
Egyptian Football Association member Ehab Hath has explained why the Pharaohs boycotted the mandatory press conference after their 1-1 draw with the Super Eagles in Kaduna.
Hath was agitated that the Zambian referee denied the Egyptians the chance to snatch a late winner after he blew the final whistle while the team was in possession.
“The rule is wrong and it was possible to come up with the winner , do not know why his decisions were counterproductive,”said Hath to filgoal.com.
“There are no sanctions against Egypt because of failure to attend the press conference and the observer agreed, that our security could not be guaranteed in light of the spectators that stormed the pitch after the game.”
More than 40,000 spectators witnessed the game between Nigeria and Egypt at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, which has a capacity of 25,000.
