Market26 Jul 2027

Walid El Shenawy agrees terms with Military Production

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Masr El Makasa people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Remember the name: Ahmed Sobhi

He is 19, he is averaging 7.13, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

The paperwork begins on Ziad Mohamed

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Masr El Makasa have done the hard part with Wadi Degla, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Ramadan Tarek 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 Masr El Makasa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Mostafa Marwan 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.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Masr El Makasa rebuffed over Samir Mohamed

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

Squad26 Jul 2027

Home is on Gabriel Menezes's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Masr El Makasa are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Loan watch26 Jul 2027

Mahmoud Warda counts the days

“I watch every Masr El Makasa game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at CR Belouizdad runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Masr El Makasa try to borrow Belal Ateya

Al Ahly have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Words exchanged at Masr El Makasa

Omar Fayed 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.

Squad26 Apr 2027

The decline has begun for Karim Warda

Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 35 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for Masr El Makasa is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

Mostafa Marwan beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

Walid El Shenawy takes the honours

Marked 7.42 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Masr El Makasa had the best player on the pitch.

Squad26 Apr 2027

A row about effort at Masr El Makasa

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

The dugout26 Apr 2027

Half-satisfied: Ramadan El Wensh on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

The manager makes an example of Trezeguet Warda

“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.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Young player of the week: Mahmoud Zizo

At 17 he was the best of everybody his age in the division for one weekend. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

Match24 Apr 2027

No goals between Masr El Makasa and Ghazl El Mahalla

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Ghazl El Mahalla will be the happier side with the point.

Match17 Apr 2027

Masr El Makasa tear ENPPI apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against ENPPI, and it could have been more.

Player ratings19 Apr 2027

Both of them Mahmoud Zizo's — 9.08

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.08, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market19 Apr 2027

Walid El Shenawy is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Masr El Makasa is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Player ratings19 Apr 2027

Salah Hassan could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.77

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.77, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Words exchanged at Masr El Makasa

Omar Fayed 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 terraces19 Apr 2027

Masr El Makasa supporters have found a favourite in Mahmoud Zizo

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 17-year-old it feels ownership of. Mahmoud Zizo 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 ratings19 Apr 2027

Mostafa Marwan in the eights

A performance of 8.16 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

A satisfied Ramadan El Wensh

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 3‑0, Ramadan El Wensh could afford to be generous.
