The club said in a press release, a copy of which was received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) today, "The poor and contradictory announcement issued by the election committee blew up all standards of neutrality, transparency , integrity and blatantly aligned with the outgoing president of the football federation since 2018.
He considered this announcement a blatant violation of all the regulations of the Yemeni, Asian and international federations, which emphasize absolute transparency, integrity, impartiality and equal opportunities for all candidates for the elections scheduled for November 30.

The statement pointed out that the announcement of the Yemeni Football Association Election Committee revealed that the decision taken was based on personal opinions and orientations that do not express full professionalism in work and reveal the full desire to exclude the club's candidate Ibrahim Al-Suwaidi under flimsy and contradictory pretexts that do not express full transparency, impartiality and institutional work required to be available in the committee.
The club expressed its regret that the committee challenged and questioned the legality and functions of the official sports bodies and frameworks, which are an integral part of the General Football Federation's work system and manage football activities in Sana'a and the provinces, when the committee denied the legality of the official documents issued by these frameworks.
It pointed out that this behavior calls into question the legality of all the activities of these official frameworks, especially the first championships , second , third division clubs and provincial champions, as well as player transfers , contracts , various qualification courses for coaches and referees and others.
