The truth about Hawsawi's statements on Al Ahly's project not being completed

Al Ahly FC's spokesperson Majid Al Fahmi has denied the statements attributed to Osama Hawsawi, the club's appointed sporting director, regarding the team's project and future in the upcoming period.

The statements attributed to Hawsawi have sparked controversy among Al Ahly fans, after being reported by the South African newspaper 'Business Day' ahead of the upcoming clash against Mamelodi Sundowns FC.

The newspaper attributed to Al Ahly FC's sporting director a recent statement about the necessity of a long-term vision for building a team capable of competing consistently, which goes beyond match results and transfer periods.

The statements attributed to him also indicated that Al Ahly FC's project "is not yet complete," noting that work continues to build a team capable of competing every season.

Al Fahmi clarified that what was published in the foreign newspaper, which was then circulated by other sites and newspapers, has no basis in truth, confirming that these statements did not come from Hawsawi.

Al Ahly FC's spokesperson confirmed via their account on the X platform that Osama Hawsawi did not make any statements in this regard, nor did he conduct any press or television interviews on the subject.

Al Fahmi urged everyone to ensure accuracy and credibility, and to verify information and its sources before publishing or circulating it, especially regarding matters related to the club and its leadership.

Al Ahly FC are set to face Mamelodi Sundowns FC tomorrow, Saturday, at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, in a match to determine the champion of the Confederations Cup for 2026.
