Mahmoud El Khatib, Al Ahly’s president, gave an introductory speech at the club’s general conference in Gezira on Monday.

During his speech, El Khatib was keen to briefly review the club’s major accomplishments during the past four years.

“Four years ago we presented our program to the club members during the previous presidential elections, which can be best described by our slogan: “History, Principles, Development.”

“One of the main elements of our program was: Al Ahly Family’s plan and we accomplished its goals over the past four years. We are a family and that is our biggest strength.”

“Thank God, we were able to continue the successes of the club’s previous boards over the past 114 years. Of course, it wasn’t an easy mission. The club’s executive management and resources paved the way for us to accomplish our goals.”

“Furthermore, I would like to thank the club’s general assembly for placing their trust in us to serve our club.”

El Khatib concluded his introductory speech of the conference by stating that the club’s achievements and successes over more than 100 years are the results of the efforts of all the great figures and names who served the club throughout its history.

Therefore, the club’s current board of directors was keen to honor some of the club’s figures like Mahmoud Fahmy, Hassan Hamdy and Haasan Moustafa, by awarding them with Al Ahly’s gold medal.
