Omar Gaber, a Zamalek fan favourite who further enhanced his reputation among the supporters after declining to take part in an Egyptian Premier League game after 20 were killed prior to kick-off, has defended his teammates who came under fire for agreeing to play.
The 23-year-old, a product of Zamalek’s youth academy, also said he would no longer play for the club.
According to the health ministry, 20 people died as fans tried to enter the army-owned Air Defence Stadium in Cairo to see the league match between Zamalek and ENPPI.
