Match21 Aug 2027

Aswan punish ENPPI for switching off

2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Kahraba will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at ENPPI escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Player ratings23 Aug 2027

Both of them Kahraba's — 8.29

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.29, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Emad Mayhoub keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” ENPPI may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings23 Aug 2027

A defender's goal wins it for ENPPI — 7.88

1 for Ahmed Sabeha, marked 7.88, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Market23 Aug 2027

ENPPI say no — this time

The offer from Petrojet for Abdelaziz El Zoghbi was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad23 Aug 2027

A move Ismail Ashraf would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Ismail Ashraf is living that version at ENPPI, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Real improvement from Adham Farid at ENPPI

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Adham Farid is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Rafik Kabou in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at ENPPI this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market23 Aug 2027

ENPPI sign Abdelrahman Mahrous for $56.0K

The paperwork is done: Abdelrahman Mahrous joins from Ismaily in a deal worth $56.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Match3 Oct 2026

The wait goes on for Haras El Hodoud

8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Real improvement from Youssef Sabra at Haras El Hodoud

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Youssef Sabra is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Words at Haras El Hodoud training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gigli Ndefe 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.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Ziad Tarek

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Emeke Eze in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Haras El Hodoud this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Mahmoud El Zanfaly

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match3 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Haras El Hodoud against El Dakhleya

0‑1 to El Dakhleya, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

An afternoon Mohamed El Negely will want back

Marked 5.47. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Ismail Ashraf could not find anything

5.71. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market31 Aug 2026

Mahmoud El Badry puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Haras El Hodoud, and it is not being withdrawn.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

Haras El Hodoud sell a favourite for $920.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Fawzi El Henawy was one of the reasons people came, and $920.0K does not replace that by itself.

Market31 Aug 2026

Business is business: Fawzi El Henawy goes

Al Ahly paid $920.0K and Haras El Hodoud took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Gigli Ndefe 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.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Wandile Duba

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Haras El Hodoud

Roqa was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match29 Aug 2026

ENPPI take the points off Haras El Hodoud

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Mahmoud El Zanfaly gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Mohamed Abdel Ghany is still paying for one afternoon at Haras El Hodoud

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Moses Twum runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market24 Aug 2026

Ismail Ashraf puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Haras El Hodoud, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market24 Aug 2026

Fawzi El Henawy attracts admirers

The name of Fawzi El Henawy has come up in conversations Haras El Hodoud were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Haras El Hodoud training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gigli Ndefe 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Haras El Hodoud against Petrojet

1‑2 to Petrojet, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Amr Gamal

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Amr Gamal, and the manager let it.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Emeke Eze dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Ikenna Cooper never got going

5.74 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.
