The Al Gaish Courier
Match14 Nov 2026
No end in sight to Al Gaish's wait for a win
12 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Al Gaish has to find a result from somewhere.

A fracture rules Camacho out for 40 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Al Gaish will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Khaled Awad says Al Gaish went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

A falling-out at Al Gaish
Karim Tarek and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Smouha take the points off Al Gaish
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Mostafa Ghaly faces the questions
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Mostafa Ghaly after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Hassan Magdy 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.

Yehia Mostafa 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.

Ismaïl Ouro-Agoro runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 11. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
In brief
- The dugout No place in the plan for Ahmed Alaa
- Squad Amro Tarek speaks, and the room listens
- Player ratings The whistle followed Ali Hamdi around
