The Wadi Degla Gazette

Juan Chavira is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Wadi Degla is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
Boardroom21 Aug 2028
A new deal for Shikabala Warda
The board have signed the man in the dugout to a longer contract, which says more than any statement of support. Stability is easy to promise and costly to keep.

Tempers go at Wadi Degla
Franck Boli 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.

Trezeguet Hamdi comes home
The shirt still fits. Trezeguet Hamdi is back at Wadi Degla, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Bassem Salah comes home
The shirt still fits. Bassem Salah is back at Wadi Degla, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Emad Marwan is a Wadi Degla player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.
Match19 Aug 2028
Wadi Degla come up short against Zamalek
Zamalek left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Scotty Sadzoute 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.

Wadi Degla board go back on their word
Something was promised, a deadline passed, and it did not arrive. Trust inside a football club is built over years and spent in an afternoon.
