Zamalek players handed prison sentences for stadium scuffle

The two players were involved in a scuffle with a stadium organiser at the Al Nahyan ground in Abu Dhabi. Zamalek's Mostafa Shalaby and Nabil Emad have been given a one-month prison sentence and fined 200,000 dirhams ($55,000) each for assault during this month's Egyptian Super Cup semi-final in the United Arab Emirates, the Abu Dhabi Criminal Court said. Zamalek sporting director Abdel Wahed El Sayed got the same punishment after the three men were involved in a scuffle with a stadium organiser at the Al Nahyan ground in Abu Dhabi. Zamalek beat Pyramids 5-4 in a penalty shootout on October 20. The court said in a statement on social media platform X on Tuesday that the three men were "... committing acts that would disturb public order and incite riots in front of the fans ..." Zamalek declined to comment.
