Emam Ashour prevented from celebrating with his daughter: controversy shakes Al-Ahly's title party!

Cairo International Stadium was the scene on Wednesday night of an unforgettable evening, highlighted by Al-Ahly's coronation as Egyptian Premier League champions for the 2024-2025 season. The Cairo club delivered a commanding performance, crushing Pharco 6-0 in the final matchday of the league.

With this emphatic victory, Al-Ahly finished the season on 58 points, edging out Pyramids by two points. The club clinched its third consecutive title and the 45th in its illustrious history, further cementing its status as the most decorated team in Egyptian league history.

Despite the jubilation, the celebrations were tinged with emotion as several players bid farewell to the fans on the pitch. Goalkeeper Hamza Alaa, international full-back Akram Tawfik, and Tunisia’s Ali Maâloul were overcome with tears, hinting at a possible departure at the end of the season.

The most talked-about moment of the night, however, was the incident involving Emam Ashour. The midfielder tried to get onto the pitch with his young daughter to join in the celebrations, but was stopped by security guards at one of the stadium entrances.

Cameras captured the tense scene: visibly frustrated, Ashour attempted to push through before hoisting his daughter onto his shoulders and making his way onto the field. The gesture, widely shared on social media, sparked a wave of reactions criticizing the event’s organization and the lack of consideration for players during these intimate family celebrations.
