Ahli have announced that they will not send Essam Al-Hadari's International Transfer Certificate (ITC) to FC Sion upon FIFA's request, following the Egypt goalkeeper's controversial signing with the Swiss side. FIFA's message implied that Ahli should present what proves that Al-Hadari's move to Sion is illegal, otherwise the player is free to join the latter. Meanwhile, Al-Hadari made surprise return to Egypt on Friday, apologized for leaving the club without approval, and stressed he is not ready to join Sion without Ahli's permission. However, Sion's official site claimed that Al-Hadari has only returned to Cairo for clearing up personal matters with Ahli officials.
