Al-Ahli fans were attached to an extraordinary general meeting held yesterday at the club’s headquarters, at the invitation of Majid al-Nafai’s management after the approval of the sports ministry.
After the meeting, people agreed that they heard the noise but did not see the anguish, which heightened their sense of grief over what had become of their club.
The extraordinary meeting of the Al Ahly Club was full of scenes not followed by the media, who waited for important decisions for two hours, during which a meeting was held, which was attended by gold members and the club’s management, and at a distance for ordinary members.
The most notable scenes Al-Madina observed were before the meeting, when calm and anticipation reigned outside the club gates, and before the participants arrived at the club’s headquarters.
Visitation outside the walls was limited to journalists, while no supporters were present, especially after security patrols dispersed throughout the club helped to ensure calm and order outside the headquarters.
Prince Turki Al-Abdullah Al-Faisal, a golden member, was at the forefront of the members present, while Al-Ahli president Majid Al-Nafi’i and his deputy Muhammad Al-Dini were present and did not enter through the main gate.
The presence of an ordinary member among the two golds was discovered and he was escorted out of the meeting room.
A number of members present demanded that Majed al-Nafi resign, but he insisted on remaining in office until his legal four-year term had expired, of which one year had elapsed.
Al-Nafei responded to a request to leave by saying, “If I had known that the club would be harmed because of me, I would have refused to run for president.”
Gold member Khaled Abu Rashid delivered his speech to Al-Nafi, saying: “We asked you in a previous meeting to fire coach Khasi after the fifth round of the league last season, but you didn’t answer us and the result was the relegation of the team.
The meeting moved on to discuss some financial matters, which are minor infractions that do not amount to condemnation by the administration, including air tickets for the wives of one of the professional players, as well as the children of another.
Two hours later, the assembly ended and Prince Turki Al-Abdullah Al-Faisal spoke to reporters outside the assembly’s headquarters, as well as gold member Khaled Abu Rashid, while Majed Al-Nafai and his deputy refrained from speaking. , who has not played a single match in the past three years.
