Abou Rida Thanks Lekjaa as Egyptian FA Corrects Hossam Hassan's Morocco Hint

Hany Abourida, President of the Egyptian Football Association (EFA), sent a thank you letter to Fouzi Lekjaa, President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF). In the letter, Abourida expressed his profound appreciation for Morocco's exceptional organization and remarkable success in hosting the Africa Cup of Nations tournament. This gesture is seen as a rectification of previous issues that arose following remarks made by coach Hossam Hassan, which had implied certain things about Morocco.

The EFA affirmed in its statement that the high standard of organization, infrastructure, and logistical services provided by the Kingdom of Morocco reflects the significant development the country is undergoing in hosting major championships. The EFA considers this a source of pride not only for Morocco but also for the entire Arab world and African football in general.

Furthermore, the EFA commended the warm popular reception extended to the Egyptian national team delegation in Morocco. It noted the considerable positive impact this had on all members of the delegation, underscoring the deep fraternal and historical bonds between the Moroccan and Egyptian peoples.

The Egyptian Football Association concluded its message by affirming its confidence in the continued cooperation between the leaderships of both countries. This collaboration aims to fulfill the aspirations of fans and elevate Arab football's standing in continental and international arenas. The EFA conveyed its sincere respect and appreciation to the Royal Moroccan Football Federation.
