Controversy

On 30 May 2024, El Shahat was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for three years, and a 5-year sports ban subject to appeal, in addition to a fine of E£100,000, after physically and verbally assaulting Pyramids player Mohamed Chibi on the final matchday of the 2022–23 season.[8][9]

On 9 November 2024 A reconciliation was reached between the duo, Chibi and El Shahat, while they were present at a ceremony to distribute the best awards in the Egyptian Premier League.[10][11]
