Match18 Nov 2026

Ittihad through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Wadi Degla, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match21 Nov 2026

No mercy from Ittihad

ENPPI will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Ittihad were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

No sign of nerves from Ahmed Atef at 21 — 8.00

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Ahmed Atef did not need any: 8.00, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Isaac Saviour stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Isaac Saviour and Ittihad agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Ittihad

Mohamed Tony 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.

The terraces23 Nov 2026

Ittihad supporters have found a favourite in Ahmed Atef

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Ahmed Atef has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Abdelrahman Magdy was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.35. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Seidu Basit

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Seidu Basit, and the manager let it.

Loan watch23 Nov 2026

Ahmed Nagy has seen enough of El Dakhleya

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Ittihad, and 0 appearances in 13 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Ittihad

Seidu Basit and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Isaac Saviour 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.

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026

Afsha goes back to face ENPPI

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Afsha’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Ittihad needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Blessing Eleke knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Blessing Eleke trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market16 Nov 2026

Ahmed Menshawi is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Ittihad has been clear about where Ahmed Menshawi stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The manager makes Mostafa Ibrahim a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Ittihad. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market16 Nov 2026

Ittihad put Youssef Nader up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Youssef Nader may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026

Looking ahead: ENPPI at home

A side in position 12 visits next. The result will not make anybody’s season and it could quietly break the shape of one, which is why the manager has been watching the video since Sunday.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Ahmed Hamdi keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Ahmed Hamdi plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.

In brief
