Since Tunisian player Hamdi Al-Naqaz was terminated by Zamalek last Thursday, the crisis that engulfed most during the last edition of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Professional Cup has returned.
Rather, Zamalek’s announcement of the termination of Al-Naqaz’s contract was seen by Al-Faisali as a lifeline for an escape from the first division and a return to the professional league, given that he was one of the teams that filed an official protest against Hamdi Al-Naqaz’s ineligibility to participate in ” Al-Ahly” under the pretext that its registration is illegal.
Al Faisali drew Al Ahly 2-2 in the league matchday 16 last season and Al Faisali protested Al Naqaz’s involvement and the Disciplinary Committee responded by rejecting the protest.
Al-Ahly contracted Al-Naqaz as an unemployed player and he was registered in the records of the Al-Ahly club outside of the official registration period as FIFA allows such cases with special controls, including that the player is unemployed.
Before signing with Al Ahli, Al-Naqaz signed a three-year contract with Al-Zamalek, but the Cairo club was subject to a registration ban so he was unable to register Hamdi Al-Naqaz.
Al-Ahli contracted Al-Naqaz as an unemployed player based on the fact that he was not registered on the Zamalek lists through the TMS system.
FIFA and the Saudi Arabian Football Association confirmed that the player is unemployed and cited an international player card that came to the Al Ahli club through the Tunisian Football Association and not through the Egyptian Football Association, which means that Zamalek does not have an international card player. and, accordingly, two protests in the same sense were rejected, the first of which was by Al-Hilal and the second by Al-Faysali.
The Football Association confirmed that Al-Naqaz was not registered on the Zamalek list in the “TMS” system in FIFA when signing a contract with Al-Ahly.
According to FIFA rules, a player is considered unemployed if he is not registered in the “TMS” system, because he cannot practice his profession due to circumstances beyond his control, because the philosophy of FIFA regulations and laws focuses solely on the interests of the player. practice of football prior to any consideration, and there is evidence that when a conflict arises between two clubs against a player and the club prevents delivery of an international player card to the other club, FIFA issues an international card to the player so that he can play, provided that the judicial committees, whether in civil unions or in FIFA, will make a decision in a crisis.
Perhaps the reason for Al-Naqaz’s registration crisis to resurface with Al-Ahli is that Zamalek announced last Thursday that he was canceling his contract with Al-Naqaz for the next two years, so the question arises when the two parties signed the contract to be canceled for the next two years. of the year.
