Hashim Haidar, sent, through a speech he delivered at the reception that was held today on the occasion of Al-Ahed Club winning the title of the Lebanese First Division Clubs Championship, many messages regarding the football issue, stressing that the time of throwing clubs failed at the federation. gone.
Engineer Haidar, at the beginning of his speech, offered condolences on the death of the former president of the federation, Dr. Nabil Al-Rai, and said: “We stand today with sadness and reverence in front of this loss, and we wish the sports family to participate in this painful occasion intensively, because we consider ourselves concerned with this condolence, and we hoped that our celebration today would be Without this circumstance.”
And he continued: “We congratulate and congratulate Al-Ahed Club for winning the Lebanese Championship for the first degree, and we wish this dear and honorable club to win the titles because it deserves it, and it deserves it, as this club has always been the strongest competitor to win all titles.”
He added: “On this occasion, I must refer to several points related to Lebanese football, the first of which is that we used to go to the fans of the game on every occasion, the last of which was the General Assembly regarding a month ago, and we called on the clubs to work more and more, to spread the culture of civilized encouragement among their fans, as it is the only method that It gives motivation to the team and the club they encourage. Every deviation from sporting values is an outcast act, and it only leads to harm to the club. Some club fans abuse their clubs without realizing it, and civilized encouragement should be the general feature present in our stadiums, and here it is necessary to recall several obvious things. And we remind the clubs that as they celebrate victory, they must accept the loss, and not to forget that there is one champion for each championship, and there are clubs that will fall from one degree to another, bearing in mind that I speak of these axioms because they have been lost from the minds of some clubs, and they have begun to think that they are forbidden to lose. It is forbidden for it to drop, and it is forbidden for it not to be the champion, and this is unfortunate, and we must bypass it as a popular culture, and for some clubs to bypass it. ball Lebanese football, and it performs these tasks with integrity, impartiality and transparency, and every deviation from the path and laws of football is issued by some clubs, so there will be strictness in applying the laws to the maximum, so as not to distort the image of Lebanese football, which should be a title of civilization and progress. “.
Engineer Haidar concluded: “The last thing, we say that the time of throwing some clubs their failure and the obstacles they face, on the federation, because this time has passed, and let each one assume his responsibility, as the federation carries out his tasks, and the clubs have to fulfill their duties, sometimes there are people trying to consolidate Errors and fallacies in order for it to become as if it is the truth, there are those who tell us why you do not confront these matters and respond to attempts to turn the facts and make things appear as they are, and in fact I will suffice here with this dialogue, but through a verse of Al-Mutanabbi saying in it (and nothing is correct in understanding if it needs Al-Nahar is to evidence), and finally we wish all the best to Al-Ahed Club, and to our beloved country, Lebanon, hoping that it will return to its natural role, which will reflect positively on our football reality.
