In a decisive step reflecting the management of Basra Oil Club's commitment to maintaining internal discipline and the institution's prestige, the administrative body issued an official statement announcing a series of strict penalties against the player Hussam Malik Manour, following his behavior described as "shameful" after the team's match against Diyala Club in the 37th round of the Iraqi Stars League.

The management stated in its announcement that the player had openly attacked the coaching staff of the team and committed acts that included direct insults to the coaches working within the technical system, which represents a clear violation of sports values and a blatant infringement of the ethical norms that the club adheres to.

The decision, which was based on the disciplinary clause in the contract between the player and the club, and according to the internal regulations, included a series of severe disciplinary measures, the most notable of which was the permanent exclusion of the player from the first team, in addition to imposing a hefty financial fine of 25 million Iraqi dinars as a deterrent for his unacceptable behavior.

The management did not stop at administrative decisions alone but announced the initiation of a formal legal lawsuit against the player before the relevant judicial authorities, demanding compensation for the moral and administrative damage inflicted on the club as a result of the incident. It also decided to file a detailed complaint with the Iraqi Football Federation, accompanied by all evidence and testimonies proving the incident, in order to request the organizing body of the tournament to take disciplinary action against the player at the federation level.

In conclusion, the club's management emphasized that these decisions were made out of a desire to enforce discipline within the team's corridors and to preserve its standing among clubs, asserting that they would not tolerate any individual behavior that could affect the stability of the technical team or negatively impact its image before the fans.

They affirmed that respect for the technical and administrative staff is a fundamental pillar that cannot be compromised, and that taking firm action against any transgression is considered a moral obligation before being an administrative responsibility.
