The Aswan Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A fracture rules Youssef El Gohary out for 68 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Aswan will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Mostafa Anani hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Aswan can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words exchanged at Aswan

Seidu Basit and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Mahmoud Diasty falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Seidu Basit

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

Mahmoud Diasty gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

A bad afternoon for Aswan against Ismaily

0‑1 to Ismaily, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Guy Félix Lima wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Aswan can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout

Ali El Shenawy answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Boardroom

Aswan put Ali El Shenawy on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Aswan

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Aswan is running low.

Boardroom

Crisis meeting at Aswan

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Steve Hoffman

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Mostafa Anani hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Aswan can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Chisom Chikatara: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Aswan have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Aswan

Seidu Basit was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Aswan

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Steve Hoffman was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ahmed Hamoudi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ahmed Hamoudi, and the manager let it.

The Ararat Post

10 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Guy Félix Lima puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Ararat, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Van come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Ararat did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Ararat

Umut Dilek was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets

Olimpia tell Ararat: Fredy Colmán is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Ararat promote Mkhitar Khachatryan from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mkhitar Khachatryan has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Aram Bayramyan steps up from the Ararat academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Aram Bayramyan has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
