Beni Suef said through his account: “The news that circulated about a friendly match with the Kuwaiti club Al-Kazma is not true. The club has not played any friendlies at the moment, and the sponsor confirmed that there are no friendly matches arranged at this time.”

He warned the Egyptian club against dealing with the agent of players called “Sayed Riad”, stressing that he impersonated the representative of the club and organized a friendly match with Kazma Kuwaiti, and the club published a picture of this person taken during the establishment of the match in question.
