Song Sparks Family Clash Between Coach's Wife and Ex-Wife in Egypt
Tensions between Dan Adam, wife of Egypt's national team coach Hossam Hassan, and his ex-wife Houda Al-Gharbawi escalated into a violent clash at the Porto Marina hotel in North Coast, after Adam released a birthday song for her husband featuring singer Omar Kamel.
Incident details
According to informed sources, the altercation began when Hossam Hassan returned to the hotel with his sons, surprising Adam with Al-Gharbawi and her children present. Voices rose and the dispute turned physical; Adam claimed Hassan's eldest daughter grabbed her hair and pulled her into the café, then threw a hot coffee cup at her face.
Hassan intervened to calm the situation, and rescue teams were called to contain the scene. Police were notified, and investigations are ongoing to clarify the assault.
Background of the dispute
The clash is not isolated. Prior tensions surfaced after Al-Gharbawi appeared in the media with her children, prompting Adam to respond to perceived criticisms of her marriage. The birthday song contained lyrics affirming her status as the coach's wife, which a family friend described as “an extra provocation.”
The episode occurs as public attention shifts to the Egyptian team's upcoming qualifiers, bringing Hassan's name back into the spotlight beyond football.
