Al Ahly Comes to Ramadan Sobhi's Defense Amid Legal Storm
28 November 2025
Bold Stand: Al Ahly Defends Sobhi
Mahmoud El Khatib, the chairman of Al Ahly, has tasked the club's legal team with defending Ramadan Sobhi, the star of Pyramids FC, in the ongoing cases.
Legal Roadmap: CAS, Forgery, and Detention
The Court of Arbitration for Sport had already issued a four-year ban against Ramadan Sobhi, following irregularities in a doping sample.
Sobhi also faces another accusation, alleging forgery in his attendance at exams at a school in Abu al-Nemr.
The Public Prosecution kept Sobhi in detention until December 30, when a ruling in the case is expected.
Al Ahly announced that, in line with its founding principles of supporting its players, Mahmoud El Khatib appointed Shady El Barqouqi, the club's legal adviser, to join Sobhi's defense.
Additionally, Dr. Abdullah Shahatah, the club's sports legal adviser, was tasked with providing legal support in the doping case, coordinating with Sobhi's own team.
