Zamalek president wants to ban fans who formed 'angry face' emoji

Zamalek president Mortada Mansour is angry at a group of his club's fans who formed themselves into the shape of an "angry face" emoji inside the stadium.

The stunt was organised in protest at the Egyptian side's failure to reach the knockout phase of the African Champions League.

Mansour though was not impressed and has threatened to ban the group of supporters from attending furthe home matches.

The Zamalek president said: "Zamalek wears white with two red lines. Whoever wants to support us is welcome, but not in black.

"Those who went to the Al-Merreikh match in black will not be allowed to attend again."

Renowned for their fanatical support, Zamalek's Ultras White Knights fan group used social media to explain their "fury towards the team's situation and board members who are not suitable to represent our great club", describing themselves as the team's "sword and armour".
