The wait goes on for Haras El Hodoud
11 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.

Fawzi El Henawy asks to leave Haras El Hodoud
“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.

The season belongs to Mahmoud El Zanfaly
An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Haras El Hodoud have had the benefit of it.

A falling-out at Haras El Hodoud
Amr Gamal and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Youssef Sabra is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Time is catching up with Islam Abou Salima
Everybody at Haras El Hodoud saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 33 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.
Loan watch4 Jan 2027
Ahmed Nayel has seen enough of Police Union
