What happened?

After the Mohamed Hany incident, a parliamentary question was raised about the cost of the media delegation accompanying the Egypt national football team. Dr. Ashraf Saad Sulaiman, deputy chairman of the African Affairs Committee in the House of Representatives, submitted a parliamentary question to the Minister of Youth and Sports.

Why does this matter for Egypt?

The parliamentary question comes after a member of the media delegation mocked player Mohamed Hany, despite his outstanding performance and discipline throughout the team's campaign in the tournament. The deputy emphasized that such actions do not align with the national mission that official delegations undertake in international forums.

What comes next?

The Minister of Youth and Sports was asked to clarify the total cost of the media delegation's travel and accommodation, the number of journalists and media personnel accompanying the team, and the parties that bore the costs of each individual. | Date | Result | | --- | --- | | 2026-06-15 | Belgium 1-1 Egypt |
