Al Ahly: fine imposed on Bakrar and his teammates

Oct 22, 2026

Mounsef Bakrar and his teammates will face financial consequences following Al Ahly's latest setback. After the 3-3 draw against Al Qanah, the management has decided to suspend the team's bonuses until further notice.

Mounsef Bakrar is going through a tough time with Al Ahly. Starting on Wednesday in the thrilling 3-3 match against Al Qanah, the Algerian international failed to make a significant impact in attack and faced criticism after the game. He played 83 minutes before being replaced by Ali Mahmoud, as his team had just conceded the third goal.

This result has caused great frustration internally. While Al Ahly is currently in second place with 17 points, four points behind Pyramids, the management is now considering suspending bonuses and certain payments to players until performance improves. A meeting between the coaching staff and the team is also planned, while the club continues to trust Houcine Ammouta for the time being.

For Bakrar, this latest goalless performance comes after a brief respite during the derby against Zamalek, where he scored shortly after coming on. In the league this season, the Algerian now has 7 appearances, approximately 407 minutes, and one goal, with no assists. Before the draw against Al Qanah, Opta recorded six matches, 324 minutes, and one goal for him.

The situation also echoes his last gathering with Algeria. Criticized for his lack of efficiency, particularly against Niger where he played 61 minutes without scoring, Bakrar needed to regain his confidence at the club. His goal against Zamalek had provided a brief relief, but the pressure is already back.
