Sympathy with Gaza

Assalamo 3aleikom
Egypt midfielder Mohamed Abu Treika has been warned for making a political statement during his team's Africa Cup of Nations match on Saturday.
Abu Treika lifted his Egypt shirt after scoring against Sudan to reveal a T-shirt bearing the message "Sympathy with Gaza".
"A letter has been written to him," a top Confederation of African Football (Caf) official told BBC Sport.
"It gives him a strong warning over the message on his undershirt on Saturday."
Abu Treika, who plays for Egyptian side Al Ahly, was protesting against Israel's 10-day blockade of the Hamas-ruled territory and was subsequently booked by the referee.
The gesture was in contravention of the laws of world football's governing body Fifa, which insists that undershirts must contain no messages of any kind, whether they be of a political, commercial or religious nature.
Egypt assistant coach Shawky Gharib insisted that Abu Treika's actions had no political significance.

In a previous match, Abu Treika did the same after the Danish drawings insulting Prophet Mohamed (pbuh) with the statment ' Oh Prophet of Allah, We sacrifice ourselves for You'

I should mention that Abu Treika was chosen the world‘s most popular footballer amongst currently active players in 2007 by IFFHS users.
