A former administrator of Al-Madina Club, Jumaa Al-Baoundi, stated that the results achieved by the first football team in the Libyan Premier League do not match the club’s long history and its standing in Libyan football.

Al-Baoundi said in a post on his personal social media page: “Only the name remains of Al-Madina Club, and even the name has been tampered with by pseudo-players,” referring to the state of frustration the club has been experiencing recently.

He added that what Al-Madina Club is going through reflects the extent of the technical and administrative decline, stressing that the current situation is not befitting a club with a history spanning more than 73 years since its founding, which has been a strong presence in the local sports scene.

In a related context, Al-Baoundi renewed his previous demands for the Government of National Unity to intervene in order to find urgent solutions to the suffocating financial crisis plaguing the club, emphasizing that the continuation of this situation threatens the team’s future and directly affects its results and stability.

Al-Baoundi’s statements come at a time when Al-Madina Club is going through a difficult phase, amid popular demands for the necessity of reforming the administrative and financial conditions and restoring the club to its natural position among the clubs of the Premier League.
