Nobody could get near Abdallah Hassan

Successful dribbles: 35. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Bassem Gabr says Masr El Makasa went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Shikabala Marwan 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.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Mostafa Sobhi signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mostafa Sobhi commits to Masr El Makasa for another 2 years.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Mario Osuna 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.

Loan watch9 Nov 2026

Shikabala Hassan counts the days

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

Match7 Nov 2026

Masr El Makasa and Military Production take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market9 Nov 2026

The El Sayed Tarek question follows Masr El Makasa around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with El Sayed Tarek’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Gerardo Silvestri changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and Masr El Makasa had a different afternoon.

The terraces5 Oct 2026

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 5 of the 23 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A move Wandile Bophela would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Wandile Bophela is living that version at Masr El Makasa, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Masr El Makasa

Mario Osuna 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Bassem Gabr signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Bassem Gabr and Masr El Makasa agree another 1 years.

Match3 Oct 2026

El Masry take the points off Masr El Makasa

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Mario Osuna 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.

Market5 Oct 2026

Masr El Makasa shop where it costs nothing

Wandile Bophela signs, and the fee column stays empty. Deals like this look small in July and clever by March — or they are never mentioned again.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

El Sayed Tarek runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 8. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Mostafa Sobhi ran the game

Chances created: 5. Not on the scoresheet and not remotely anonymous — a passing performance that pulled a defence apart without leaving a mark on the column that gets read.

Abdallah Hassan runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 37. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match26 Sep 2026

Masr El Makasa run riot against Aswan

4‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A day El Sayed Tarek will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Ali Fathi 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.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

El Sayed Tarek was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.75. 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.

Mario Osuna 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Bassem Gabr

“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.

Nobody could get near Walid Hegazi

Successful dribbles: 35. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market31 Aug 2026

Al Ahly come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Masr El Makasa did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market31 Aug 2026

Yasser Ghaly asks to leave Masr El Makasa

“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.

Mario Osuna 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.

Market31 Aug 2026

Mohamed Khalifa is a Masr El Makasa player

The fee is $48.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Petrojet drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

Masr El Makasa spend $48.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $48.0K for Mohamed Khalifa, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Mohamed Abdelsalam 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

Masr El Makasa see off El Dakhleya

Three points for Masr El Makasa, 1‑0 the final word against El Dakhleya in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

One of those days for El Sayed Tarek

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.17, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
