Match19 Sep 2026

Zamalek make it 5 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Zamalek have 5 straight wins of it.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Ali Ghazal pops up at the right end — 7.50

7.50, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Market21 Sep 2026

Only the photograph left for Mohamed Ali Saleh Ziad

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Mohamed Ali Saleh Ziad will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Zamalek the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Zamalek

Juan Bezerra and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Hany Mukhtar falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match19 Sep 2026

Zamalek see off Police Union

Three points for Zamalek, 2‑0 the final word against Police Union in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match19 Sep 2026

Zamalek keep winning on the road

3 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Ninety minutes of Hany Mukhtar at his very best

Marked 8.35. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Zamalek.

Loan watch21 Sep 2026

Ahmed Khaled has seen enough of Police Union

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Zamalek, and 1 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Match12 Sep 2026

Chico Banza leads the rout of Military Production

3‑0, and Chico Banza took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Zamalek tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Chico Banza scores twice — 8.62

Two goals and a mark of 8.62 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match12 Sep 2026

Zamalek make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Zamalek have 4 straight wins of it.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Adam Kaied runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Zamalek

Juan Bezerra and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

Zamalek rebuffed over Matías Arezo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Penarol have kept their man, and Zamalek go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Zamalek training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Omar Gaber is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Zamalek are still strangers to each other

10 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Walid El Hadary, on a 3‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

In brief
