The capital, Aden, witnessed rapid developments in the sporting atmosphere, as an official complaint was submitted by Mr. Abdul-Jabbar Salam Saeed, President of the Football Association, Aden branch, to Mr. Ahmed Hamid Lamlas, Minister of State and Governor of the capital, Aden, in objection to security and administrative interventions that caused the disruption of a match. An important sport and a threat to security and stability.
In the first complaint, Abdul-Jabbar stated that security forces detained the buses of the Wahdat Aden and Al-Shoula clubs at the Caltex Tour and the Kabuta intersection while they were heading to the Martyr Al-Hubaishi Stadium.
Although the buses were released after appeals and communications, this detention caused a delay in the match and the outbreak of clashes between fans of the two teams inside the stadium, as the security forces resorted to shooting to disperse them. Abdul-Jabbar held the security authorities responsible for these events, demanding that an immediate investigation be opened into the interference of the Director General of the Mansoura Directorate in sports affairs, and he considered this to be a dangerous precedent that requires accountability.
In a second complaint, Abdul-Jabbar indicated that he had received a threat from the Director General of Mansoura District to drag him through the security belt, considering that this threat affects his legal personality and affects security and stability in the city, and demanded that the necessary measures be taken to protect him and restore his reputation.
On the other hand, the Competitions Committee issued an official decision regarding the protest submitted by Al-Ahly Aden Club regarding their match against Shamsan Club in the Aden Cup Championship. The result of the match was approved in favor of Shamsan Club, 1-0, with the player Abdullah Abdul Hakim Al-Saadi frozen until his problem is resolved between Shamsan Club and Wahda Aden Club. The committee confirmed that this decision is final and not subject to appeal.
These developments are an indication of escalating tensions in the sports scene in Aden, which requires urgent intervention to ensure the stability of the situation and protect sports integrity in the city.
