Statements of wrestler Amr Reda
Amr Reda told Cairo 24: I hope to return to playing for Egypt, but I have fears of the continuation of the same old conditions that prompted me to travel and play in America, where I found all the necessary support.
The champion, Amr Reda, explained that his decision to return depends on providing real financial and technical support, saying: Wrestling is my source of livelihood, and in order to give my best to my country, I must find the compensation that is enough for me and spares me the need to search for another job besides sports, so that I can fully concentrate on training.
Amr Reda specified his technical demands, stressing his need for a special coach to correct mistakes, especially since he competes at international and Olympic levels, in addition to providing strong training camps in places where there are real competitors to interact with, instead of the weak camps in which he used to train with youth and junior teams in the past.
Amr Reda added: I play in the 74 kg weight division, which is the most difficult in the world, and requires strong and continuous contact with world champions in friendly camps and tournaments, which was not available to me before.
The wrestler Amr Reda concluded his speech: I currently live in America under very good conditions and compete within the largest organizations there, and I will not return to Egypt unless the situation changes for the better and becomes comparable to what I find here, but if the situation is as I left it, I will not return.
