Egyptian Minister of Sport and Youth

Hilal Dessouki was Minister of Sport and Youth in the Abaid cabinet from October 5, 1999 . In May 2004, Sepp Blatter reported that 24 FIFA electors in Zurich had decided that the 2010 World Cup would be held in South Africa. No elector had voted for Egypt as the venue. Hilal Dessouki told the media that members of FIFA had offered him their vote for Egypt for USD 67 million but that he had declined, an honorable decision that ignored potential economic or political beneficiaries of a World Cup in Egypt. On July 9, 2004, Husni Mubarak appointed the Nazif cabinet , in which Hilal Dessouki no longer held office.

Hilal Dessouki stated that Barack Obama won the sympathy of many Muslims with his speech in Cairo on June 4, 2009. In July 2009 he told Margaret Scobey, the US ambassador to Egypt, that the Egyptian military would support a gentle change of power to a civilian as well.
