The Military Production Herald
Match12 Sep 2026
Military Production taken apart
0‑3 to Zamalek, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.
Market14 Sep 2026
Karim Yakan hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Military Production can pretend not to have heard.
Match12 Sep 2026
No end in sight to Military Production's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Military Production has to find a result from somewhere.

Tahah 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.
Match12 Sep 2026
Military Production cannot find the net
3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Tahah 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.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Military Production lose Alaa Shaaban
38 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
Boardroom14 Sep 2026
Doors closed at Military Production
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Karim Mamdouh never got going
5.24 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.
In brief
- Squad A season on the outside for Marvin Piñón
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Solary
- Player ratings A day to forget for Abdallah Mahmoud
