Modern Sport TV issued an official statement in response to the complaints Al Ahly submitted to the Public Prosecutor and the Supreme Council for Media Regulation over claims involving club president Mahmoud El Khatib.
According to the statement, the channel stressed its full respect for Al Ahly and El Khatib, saying it verifies information before broadcasting and that the disputed report relied on what it described as a reliable source from inside the club's board.
The channel added that its coverage was not intended to insult or defame anyone, but to report information it said had been checked before airing, while the matter remains under review after Al Ahly escalated the issue through legal and media channels.
The next steps are now being closely watched amid the possibility of further official responses or investigative developments.
