On Sunday, the Administrative Court of the Egyptian State Council declined an appeal filed by Mortada Mansour against an Egyptian Olympic Committee decision to suspend him from his post as Zamalek’s president and ban him from entering stadiums. The court upheld decisions taken by the committee in 2018 against Zamalek, as well as a two-year suspension for Mansour from Zamalek Club. A ministry statement said that the decision was based on the findings of a financial and administrative inspection committee, formed by the ministry in September. Mansour and his colleagues appealed both decisions in two separate cases at the Administrative Court. In November, Mansour lost reelection to parliament after coming in sixth in the Mit Ghamr race.
