The truth about Bentayg joining Egypt and changing his sporting nationality

Hani Hathout has revealed the truth behind recent reports regarding Moroccan Mahmoud Bentayg changing his sporting nationality to represent Egypt in the upcoming period.

Hathtout revealed on his program "Modern Sports" that Moroccan press reports indicate the Egyptian Football Association's desire to attract player Mahmoud Bentayg to represent the Pharaohs; the association is seeking to convince him to change his sporting identity, taking advantage of his distance from the Moroccan national team's considerations.

Mahmoud Bentayg faces difficulties regarding regulations after previously participating with Morocco in the Arab Cup.

It was pointed out that the program contacted a source close to the player, who denied any communication or official offer regarding a change in his sporting nationality during the past period.
