The Egyptian Football Association is set to convene an important meeting with national team coach and manager duo, Hassan twins, to discuss their actions during the recent international break. The meeting, expected to take place within the next few hours, will assess the twins' involvement in the team's administrative issues. According to sources, the association's board of directors, led by Hani Abourideh, will evaluate the events that transpired during the international break.

The Egyptian national team had a mixed set of results during the international break, losing 1-0 to South Africa in a friendly match, drawing with Angola, and winning against South Sudan in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The team's performance was overshadowed by controversy, with coach Hassan making statements about goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shenawy and players Mohamed Salah and Mohamed Abdelmonem leaving the team's camp.

The relationship between the Hassan twins and the team's delegation head, Khaled El-Derandeli, was also a subject of discussion. The twins' actions during the international break sparked debate among fans and the media. The Egyptian Football Association is expected to take disciplinary action against the twins if they are deemed responsible for the issues that arose during the team's camp.

The meeting between the Hassan twins and the Egyptian Football Association is seen as a crucial step in resolving the controversy surrounding the national team. The association's decision is expected to have a significant impact on the team's future, particularly with regards to the twins' roles. Fans and observers are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the meeting.

The Hassan twins have been at the helm of the Egyptian national team since their appointment as coach and manager. Their tenure has been marked by both successes and challenges. The twins' ability to navigate the team's administrative and technical aspects has been questioned by some, while others have praised their efforts to improve the team's performance.

The Egyptian Football Association has faced criticism in the past for its handling of team affairs, with some accusing the governing body of interfering in the team's technical decisions. The association's decision on the Hassan twins will be closely watched, as it may set a precedent for future interactions between the governing body and national team personnel.

The outcome of the meeting will likely have far-reaching consequences for the Egyptian national team, its coaching staff, and the governing body. The association's decision will be announced in the coming hours, and it remains to be seen how the team will move forward in the aftermath of the controversy.
