After 10 months of his appointment as head of the Tripartite Committee in charge of managing the Egyptian Football Association (EFA), Ahmed Megahed summoned before the Youth and Sports Committee in the House of Representatives, to discuss 27 briefing requests submitted against him by HR Representatives.
Briefing requests against the interim president of the Egyptian Football Association included charges including squandering public money and financial corruption. Also accusations included compliments in appointing coaches with their own eyes for the national teams, as well as tax evasion.

Tremendous infractions

The session discussed 12 out of the 27 requests submitted against Megahed, and the Youth and Sports Committee of the House of Representatives gave Ahmed Megahed a deadline to respond to the accusations against the documents, as the President of the Football Association went to the session without papers, or notification of what was directed at him.
After the session, Hussein bried the minutes  of the meeting, via the famous Tv program: "On My Responsibility", stressing that the hall was filled with deputies in a scene that is not repeated often and indicates the members' interest in the matter and their feeling of a crisis affecting a large segment of the Egyptian people interested in football.
He added, “We wondered about the reason for the dismissal of Mahmoud Saad, the former coach of EFA, who was receiving 50 thousand pounds per month!, and Nilo Vingada was appointed for $25,000, and what is his strategy, in addition to the reasons for issuing individual decisions to cancel the U-20 championship and solve the committees formed before The Five-Year Committee.
