Ismaili Chairman, Yehia Al-Koumi insists that he will not send Hosni Abd-Rabou's ITC to Strasbourg even if they give back the 800 000 euros as it has been decided by the FIFA.

"Strasbourg haven't sent the money yet and so we won't send his ITC. Even if they do we will keep his license," Al-Koumi told FilGoal.com

Last Thursday FIFA has ruled in favor of Strasbourg demanding from Ismaili to send the player's ITC.

"We will keep him until the FIFA rule in our appeal," said Al-Koumi.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) have decided to ask the World soccer governing body about the possibility of keeping Abd-Rabou until a final decision is taken.
