No VISA for Beshir to Holland

Date: 16-7-2005
Wrote: EP's reporter Ali AVCI

Egyptian international defender of Caykur Rize, Beshir el Tabei didn't attend the pre-season camp of the team in Holland. Supporters of Rize were not informed by club since today about the reason beyond the absence of the experienced defender. Finally EP can confirm when he will join his team.




Rize Club spokesman, Orhan Istif commented on the problem of the defender. "Beshir had a passport problem in Egypt. He couldnt obtain VISA from Holland. He applied for the VISA in his country. But Holland didn't accept the application of our player. This time we will try it from Turkey. Beshir is waiting for us. If we can obtain VISA for him from Turkey, he will come here and go to Holland from here.

But I think if the problem will take more days, he will train in Turkey as the team will return to Turkey soon. We know Beshir is fit because of his national team program and that he is ready for next season."


Istif also said, "We don't know why he couldn't get a regular VISA for a sport camp. It is not related with the latest terror events in London. I don't think that it is the reason".

Aside from this news, the player's agent denied all the rumours that linked the player to a move to Al-Ahly club. The agent also confirmed to Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram that Beshir will be staying as Rize as the club board refused to send him back to Zamalek as it was planned before.
