"تفاصيل الميزانية وآلية الرواتب".. رئيس شركة الكرة بالأهلي يكشف دور ياسين منصور وعبد الحفيظ
(opens the publisher’s site)Ahly football company chairman Ayman Fathi Hussein outlined the club's finances, saying ticket and broadcast income are weak while sponsorship is the main revenue source.
- Hussein said ticket income in Egypt is negligible and that roughly 600 million EGP from broadcasting over four years is a small figure.
- He stated sponsorship is the football company's main income, citing a 1.5-billion-EGP budget over four years and 16 sponsorship contracts worth up to 5 billion EGP from 2026.
- Hussein said Ahly runs 12 academies abroad in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Canada, and the US, funded mainly by Egyptians living overseas.
- He said Ahly received no donations from fans or board-member businessmen, holds financial surpluses, and pays about 250 million EGP in taxes.
- Hussein said donations must enter the club's budget for financial fair play, and direct payments to players outside official accounts are not clean play.
