Al-Ahly’s
board is set to approve the decision Tuesday to fine and suspend Ahmed
Abdul Zahar from next month’s FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco, the club
sources said.
The 28-year-old forward held up four
fingers after scoring the second goal as Al-Ahly defeated Orlando
Pirates of South Africa in the final of the African Champions League on
Sunday.
Islamists have often flashed the
four-finger sign, called Rabaa (four) in Arabic, at anti-military
protests since a deadly crackdown on supporters of ousted president
Mohamed Morsi in Cairo’s Rabaa al-Adawiya square on August 14.
Hundreds of people were killed in
clashes when security forces stormed Rabaa al-Adawiya and Nahda squares
in the Egyptian capital to disperse sit-ins by Morsi supporters who
rejected his ouster by the army in July.
On Sunday Al-Ahly won an eighth African
Champions League trophy when they beat the Pirates 2-0 in the second leg
of the final in Cairo.
