The Smouha Sentinel
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Samuel Amadi was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 27. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Miguel Terceros due for a Smouha medical
Everything agreed with Santos, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

A falling-out at Smouha
Khaled El Ghandour and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Smouha baulk at the price for Eyad Medhat
Al Ahly wanted more than $13.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Smouha rebuffed over Mostafa El Nenny
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Masr El Makasa have kept their man, and Smouha go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Abdelrahman Amer 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.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Ashraf Mohsen was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Smouha dressing room was either.

Smouha turn down the training-ground plan
It is the quietest way a club tells you what its ambitions are. The money was asked for, the money was refused, and the people who work there every day now know exactly where they stand.

The manager makes an example of Samadou Attidjikou
“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.
In brief
- Match Smouha and Ismaily cancel each other out
- Looking ahead Ahmed Mayhoub faces his old club
- Squad A first senior shirt for Basel Medhat
