Present at CAN 2021, Mostafa Mohamed gives his exams to a friend
Still in the race for CAN 2021 with Egypt,
Mostafa Mohamed, currently at CAN 2021 with Egypt.
This is certainly one of the wacky stories among the sidelines of this edition of the CAN. Very prominent for his performances on the ground with Egypt, especially during the victory over Sudan, Mostafa Mohamed made the headlines in his country. But not for his performance this time around. And for good reason, the Pharaohs attacker is accused of having sent a friend to take university exams in his place. Always present in Cameroon, while his team will face Côte d’Ivoire this Wednesday in the round of 16 , the Galatasaray player, who could not therefore be there, found no other way than to be “represented “.
While in Egypt, this week is that of the national exams, so it was a friend who went to the exams in question, pretending to be Mostafa Mohamed. Except that the subterfuge was quickly noticed during identity checks. An official from the Cairo University Institute, no doubt also a fervent supporter of the national team, quickly realized that the candidate he was dealing with was not the 24-year-old player. He’s actually a graduate student in literature. The young man was immediately arrested by the police. He admitted that he wanted to ” help a friend “, according to confessions published by the local press.
The 4th time he takes exams for Mostafa Mohamed
And obviously, this is not his first attempt. According to local media, the student also confessed to the prosecutor that he took three other exams instead of Mostafa Mohamed. A complaint has been filed. What strongly compromise the university course of the Egyptian striker now. However, it was not specified whether it was the player, who had asked his friend to take the exams for him. Justice is trying to shed light on this case and Mostafa Mohamed should be heard once Egypt’s course at CAN 2021 is over. Certainly, he must now hope to see the team go as far as possible.
