This is André Salah Sakakini , our famous equestrian who used to head our equestrian national team in the Olympics and our oldest participant in the Olympics , now he is currently playing for the Italian national team for several years representing Italy why !!??
Because our Egyptian Equestrian federation decided to ban him from representing Egypt in international and national contests forever and do not even ask for the reason because nobody knows for two years the real reason behind this stupid decision !! And because nobody cares for any sport in Egypt except for football , nobody was interested enough in asking questions except when Sakakini represented Italy in some regional championship in Sharm El-Shekih despite he was recognized by everyone as Egyptian.
Sakakini despite the cold shoulder of the Egyptian Equestrian federation came back to Egypt and trained our arm forces team for a whole team before training young Egyptian equestrians. The man does not seem have to grunge against us after all his Egyptian despite some
Honestly I did a little online research on him and I found out that his records since he left Egypt began to improve !!
I know that even abroad equestrianism is an A Class game but we can achieve something in it if the State invests from its sports budget 0.05% what is invested in football we will have a great results.
Sakakini is not the first Egyptian sportsman to take another nationality and play in another national team than ours because of the terrible conditions and circumstance he has to train and is demanded to achieve great results in the Olympics then to be crucified if he fails !!
I think from the name , you will guess that he is related to Sakakini Pasha , the famous business who built this magnificent Palace in Cairo. I believe his family should restore back the ownership of Sakakini Pasha Palace , it saddens me when this magnificent palace is turned in to a photo shooting location
