أزمة الأجندة والتنسيق مع فيفا.. أبو ريدة يكشف حقيقة عودة "البطولة العربية للأندية"
(opens the publisher’s site)The Arab Football Union board has met in Saudi Arabia, confirming Egypt will host its beach football championship while negotiations continue over the Arab Clubs Championship.
- The board met Thursday in Saudi Arabia, attended by Egyptian federation chief Hani Abu Rida, the union's first vice-president.
- Abu Rida announced Port Said will host the Arab Beach Football Championship in early November for 10 days.
- Union secretary-general Jarrallah Al-Salami said negotiations with Egyptian officials over hosting the Arab Clubs Championship are ongoing.
- Al-Salami said scheduling is difficult because Arab leagues follow different calendars across Asia and Africa.
- Abu Rida said the talks were positive and that the union is coordinating with FIFA to hold the event without affecting clubs' and national teams' commitments.
- Reports suggest the Arab Clubs Championship may return next summer, with Saudi club Al-Nasr potentially participating.
