Ismaily Clings to Hope After Relegation and Issues Decisive Statement to Its Fans

In a decisive official statement, Ismaily Club addressed its fans following the painful relegation to the Professional League, affirming its full commitment to the club's right to remain in the Premier League, despite losing 2-1 to Wadi Degla in the tenth round of the relegation phase in the Egyptian League.

The committee tasked with managing the club emphasized that it continues to exert "maximum efforts" to maintain Ismaily's position in the top league, affirming its full support for the fans' demands and considering the continuation of popular clubs in the premier league as an inherent right that cannot be ignored.

In a related context, the club's management denied recent rumors about rejecting the idea of investment or partnership within the football company, clarifying that the stance is not about rejecting the idea in principle, but rather about the necessity of establishing clear regulations that ensure the full protection of the club's rights, foremost of which is the historical license registered with both the Egyptian and international football federations.

The statement added that the resolution of such matters falls exclusively within the scope of the club's extraordinary general assembly, as it is the only body authorized to make the final decision in this regard.

The committee also affirmed its continued performance of its administrative duties and support for the club until an official decision is made to dismiss it or to call for the election of a new board of directors. It emphasized its full commitment to protecting the assets of Ismaily in coordination with its fans and supporters.

The statement concluded with an emotional message, stating that Ismaily "will remain as long as the loyal ones do," in an attempt to contain the public anger following the historic relegation that ended a 62-year consecutive run in the Premier League.

In terms of the standings, Ismaily is at the bottom of the competition with 19 points, 11 points away from the safety zone, officially sealing their relegation for the first time in their history.
