Match24 Feb 2029

Ahmed Hamdi leads the rout of Wadi Degla

3‑0, and Ahmed Hamdi took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Ittihad tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Squad26 Feb 2029

A fracture rules Youssef Oya out for 58 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Ittihad will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market26 Feb 2029

Philip Clement hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ittihad can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings26 Feb 2029

A brace, and Ahmed Hamdi takes the afternoon — 8.31

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Ahmed Hamdi provided it, and the 8.31 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market26 Feb 2029

Only the photograph left for Osama Ahmed

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Osama Ahmed will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Ittihad the goodbyes have quietly begun.

The dugout26 Feb 2029

Mohamed Seha says Ittihad 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.

The dugout26 Feb 2029

Ahmed Atef frozen out at Ittihad

This is not rotation. Ahmed Atef has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Ittihad is pretending otherwise.

Squad26 Feb 2029

Words at Ittihad training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Adam Yakubu is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad26 Feb 2029

Ahmed Farouk 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 Ittihad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

In brief

  • Squad Walid Marwan signs a new deal
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict

Market21 Aug 2028

Terms done: Amoory is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Military Production waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Ittihad is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market21 Aug 2028

El Dakhleya come back empty-handed

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

The dugout21 Aug 2028

Mahmoud Dunga keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Ittihad may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market21 Aug 2028

Bibo Ahmed Hassan is on his way

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

Boardroom21 Aug 2028

5 academy graduates step up at Ittihad

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad21 Aug 2028

A row about effort at Ittihad

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

Transfer targets21 Aug 2028

Ittihad rebuffed over Amine Aboulfath

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

The dugout21 Aug 2028

Sunusi Ibrahim 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.

Market21 Aug 2028

One of our own: Walid Marwan joins the Ittihad first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Walid Marwan is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
