Kuwait’s Kazma First Football Club won a friendly match 7-1 during their training camp in Alexandria, Egypt on Thursday, but later found out they had been cheated.
As it turned out, the Kuwaiti team did not play a friendly match against Beni Suef as scheduled, and the Egyptian club denied participating in the match in a statement reported by local Egyptian media, sparking controversy on social media.
Kazma demanded that the company that organized the camp “bear legal and criminal responsibility and bear the consequences of this mistake for both clubs.”
Star Maker Football, the company that organised the camp, issued a statement, which the Kuwaiti club released through its account on the “X” platform, in which it apologised for what it called an “unintentional mistake”.
The company added: “Unfortunately, the company was deceived by a representative of the Beni Suef Telephone Club, who later turned out to have no connection with the club and who falsely stated that the team represented the Beni Suef Telephone Club.”
The incident prompted the Egyptian Football Association to issue a statement promising to coordinate with the Kuwait Football Association to find out the circumstances of the incident.
The statement said: “The Egyptian Football Federation calls on all foreign football associations and clubs to coordinate with the federation in advance and provide all kinds of support when organizing any training camps or friendly matches in the Arab Republic of Egypt, while emphasizing that no friendly matches for all external teams shall be held without the prior permission of the Egyptian Football Federation.”
