The Police Union Courier
The terraces3 Feb 2031
Supporters organise against the Police Union board
A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.
Player ratings3 Feb 2031
A brace, and Artur takes the afternoon — 8.42
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Artur provided it, and the 8.42 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Boardroom3 Feb 2031
Police Union close the window on a squad of their own making
0 in and 2 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

El Sayed Hamdi keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Police Union may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Transfer targets3 Feb 2031
The paperwork begins on Esho
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Police Union have done the hard part with Zamalek, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

So close: Ahmed Waheb’s move dies late
The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Military Production moved on, Ahmed Waheb reports back to Police Union, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Saleh Nasr 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 Police Union this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match1 Feb 2031
Artur sends Police Union past Masr El Makasa
It finished 3‑1, and it was Artur’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Police Union.
Squad3 Feb 2031
A row about effort at Police Union
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Eduardo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
In brief
- Squad Patricio Morales wants to go home
- The dugout No hiding place for Eduardo
- Squad 100 appearances for Mohamed Raafat
