Dagenham Club Apologises After Firing Salma Mashhour Over Gaza Post

Dagenham & Redbridge Football Club has issued a formal apology after dismissing Salma Mashhour from her role as director of development and engagement just three days after her appointment. 

The dismissal followed a resurfaced Instagram post from October 2023, in which Mashhour criticized Israel’s aggressions in Gaza. In a statement, the club acknowledged public concern and clarified that her removal was not an endorsement of claims linking her to hate or terrorism. 

The club affirmed her right to political expression and said it regretted any harm caused.
