A new board, headed by CAF Executive Committee member Hany Abo Rida, won the EFA elections late in November with his whole slate through acclamation.

The EFA said in a statement on Saturday that although the previous board had imposed these sanctions regarding incidents that happened in the last season, it did not announce them at the time without disclosing any reasons for the delay.

Zamalek's former Portuguese coach Jose Gomes, who quit his job earlier this month, was suspended for two matches and fined EGP 50,000 for his behaviour during a league game against Masry on 17 June.

In addition, sanctions were imposed on Ahly and Pyramids FC club members after they filed complaints against each other following the Reds' 1-0 league win over Pyramids.

Ahly's defender, Khaled Abdel-Fattah, was suspended for three matches for his behaviour following the game. Meanwhile, the committee dismissed the complaint against his teammate Emam Ashour.

Ahly's board member, Mohamed Serag-Eldin, has been suspended from all football activities for three months for his comments through social media.

On the other hand, Pyramids FC's midfielder Mahmoud'  Dunga' Abdel Aati was suspended for three matches and forced to pay an EGP 100,000 fine for his post-match accusations against the referee.

Defender Karim Hafez was also suspended for one game.

Centre-forward Marwan Hamdy will be suspended for six matches and pay an EGP 100,000 fine after an offensive behaviour towards Ahly's fans that was caught on video .  

The disciplinary committee did not determine a timeframe for imposing these sanctions.
