Dr. Hossam Badrawi writes: For “Al-Masry Al-Youm”: Hope and Pain

I think that nothing creates positive collective energy in Egypt like sports and winning. Just as heroism creates dream and hope, frustration also has a collective psychological effect on the conscience of the nation.

The excitement and excitement of our team in the World Cup is over, and it is time for rational analysis.

Competitive sport needs a building with rules, and the base of competition must be broad in schools and universities, which include millions of young people in the appropriate age group to make the champion or the champion team, and we do not have this rule as a basis for the almost absolute absence of sports in schools and universities. Is the achievement of building the base impossible? I assure you, with thousands of youth centers around schools, that it is possible, and requires political will and management of the concept of character building in education.

The second thing is the importance of the presence and continuation of competitions at the highest level, which depends on a sustainable system, respect for the law and the presence of the public, which are all matters, as you know, far from our reality. Competitions without an audience, funding without rules, and matches are subject to the mood of politics and conditions, and respecting the sustainability of competitions is not a priority. Is it difficult to achieve? I assure you that it is possible when we do not evade responsibility, and do not follow the approach of prevention instead of managing the holding of competitions.

Finally, sports management, like any industry, needs professionals, and I urge you to look at the thousands of youth centers, the largest Egyptian clubs and gaming federations and how to manage them, and to the readable and visual sports media and its quality, to know that the pillars of success need a new building.

We were in a state of momentary emotions, praised by our love for the homeland, but it does not build a sport and does not lead to a championship except by unsustainable chance, and the same is true in the economy and politics and in managing many of the country’s affairs, unfortunately.

Introductions often lead to results, except in rare cases, and we must build and not destroy.
