Amr Marei, a striker for Al Masry, was fined one million Egyptian pounds for insulting the club’s board of directors over unpaid dues.
The Greens just defeated RS Berkane 2-1 in the CAF Confederation Cup quarterfinals first leg.
Marei addressed the unpaid dues matter following the game, noting that the players are under too much pressure, making it difficult to focus on football.
“We are never paid on time, and we are unable to concentrate on football while worrying about outstanding pay,” Marei explained to ONTime Sports.
“Despite the club board’s pledges, nothing improves. Everyone is aware of the club’s difficulties, but the board must stand by the players.
“We have faith in the board of directors, but it is ebbing away.
