Ramadan Sobhi's Career at Risk

According to Главком: The career of Egyptian footballer Ramadan Sobhi is at risk due to legal and doping scandals. He has been sentenced to one year in prison and received a four-year disqualification from the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The 28-year-old athlete became involved in a case that started back in the spring of 2024 when he was detained in July after returning from training in Turkey.

Sobhi was found guilty of forging official documents, leading to his conviction by a criminal court in Giza. On Tuesday, the court decided on imprisonment with hard labor. It is worth noting that one of the other defendants in the case received a 10-year prison sentence in absentia.
