Player ratings15 Feb 2027

Age has not caught Rafik Kabou yet — 8.03

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.03 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

Ousseynou Bodian 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.

Match13 Feb 2027

ENPPI cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Transfer targets15 Feb 2027

CS Constantine tell ENPPI: Omar Jobe is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Words exchanged at ENPPI

Ahmed Sabeha 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.

The terraces15 Feb 2027

The crowd has taken to Abdelaziz El Zoghbi

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match13 Feb 2027

Rafik Kabou sends ENPPI past Military Production

It finished 2‑0, and it was Rafik Kabou’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to ENPPI.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

A masterclass from Ammar Hamdy

Marked 8.11 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

Mostafa Hamdi has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Mostafa Hamdi on a 2‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Market8 Feb 2027

Ahmed Zaki has said yes to Masr El Makasa

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. ENPPI have lost him in all but the paperwork.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Youssef Labib says ENPPI 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.

Squad8 Feb 2027

A row about effort at ENPPI

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Kahraba was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets8 Feb 2027

Door shut on Naoufel Khacef

ENPPI asked and CR Belouizdad said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Tempers go at ENPPI

Ahmed Sabeha 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.

Match6 Feb 2027

ENPPI get the job done against Smouha

A 1‑0 win over Smouha, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

Kahraba stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.94 on the card, and the ENPPI support went home talking about one name.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Hamed Abdallah named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Hamed Abdallah is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Mostafa Hamdi has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Mostafa Hamdi on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Match16 Jan 2027

Cruel end for Haras El Hodoud as ENPPI pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. ENPPI scored in the 90th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Age has not caught Rafik Kabou yet — 8.01

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.01 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market18 Jan 2027

Youssef Labib asks to leave ENPPI

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad18 Jan 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.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

ENPPI bid $98.0K for Mohamed Ali Saleh Ziad

The offer went to Zamalek this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

Door shut on Omar Jobe

ENPPI asked and CS Constantine said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match16 Jan 2027

Rafik Kabou the difference as ENPPI beat Haras El Hodoud

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Rafik Kabou. 2‑1 against Haras El Hodoud, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces18 Jan 2027

One of their own: Arafat Masoud

He is 19 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad18 Jan 2027

50 goals in the shirt for Rafik Kabou

50 for the club now, each one filed in somebody’s memory with a date and a scoreline. Numbers like this are what supporters argue about in twenty years.
