The club can confirm this afternoon that we have accepted the resignation of Dr Abdulla Al-Humaidi from the role of chairman of the football club and as a Director – but supporters can be assured this does not change his family’s ownership model or intentions for Ebbsfleet United now or in the long-term.
Earlier this month, two new directors from the Al-Humaidi family (Abdullah and Abdulrahman) were added to the club board and Dr Abdulla will be passing the reins of chairman across to his cousin Abdullah Al-Humaidi.
He has taken the decision to stand down formally from the role of chairman after 10 years in that position for personal reasons and to allow other family members to bring their additional involvement and expertise to bear on the club board.
The family remain committed to their ownership, funding and long-term future of the club and that position remains unchanged despite the appointment of a new chairman.
Dr Abdulla will continue to be as involved and passionate in watching the team from the directors’ box as he has been across the past decade and the club thanks the Al-Humaidi family for their continued and unwavering commitment to EUFC.
