The club’s football team is still in crisis Zamalek It is continuing and worsening, despite the relative state of cessation that football activity is experiencing in the current period, which is limited only to some matches of the Egyptian Capital Cup in addition to the Egypt Cup matches, in addition to the repeated international interruptions.
3 crises threaten the career of the Zamalek football team this season
Despite the absence of match pressure, the crises inside the White Castle did not subside, but rather became more complex, in light of the inability of the Board of Directors and the football sector to contain them, due to the common and most prominent factor in all files, which is the stifling financial crisis that is hitting the club hard.
In the following report, Cairo 24 monitors the most prominent crises that the football team is suffering from within the Zamalek Club during the current period.
The first crisis: termination of contracts
The idea of terminating contracts has become the most prominent topic within Zamalek at the present time, especially among foreign players, after a number of them filed official complaints during the recent period to terminate their contract with the club, due to not receiving their financial dues on time.
Despite the administration’s move at the last minute and disbursing part of the late dues to some players, this did not prevent others from ending their relationship with the club permanently, led by Moroccan Salah Mosaddeq, the team’s defender, and his compatriot Abdel Hamid Maali, the team’s winger, who preferred to leave after the crisis worsened.
The second crisis: delayed payment of dues
The financial dues crisis represents one of the most dangerous issues within the team, as players suffer from delayed payment of their dues due to the lack of sufficient financial resources.
The roots of the crisis go back to the recent developments regarding the withdrawal of the club’s land in October City, which led to major financial crises that affected the management’s ability to fulfill its obligations.
The state of anger increased within the players’ ranks, especially after the foreign players’ dues were paid without their Egyptian counterparts, which caused a state of tension and dissatisfaction within the locker room.
The third crisis: lack of vision
The football sector in Zamalek suffers from a clear lack of vision, in light of the successive financial crises, which prevented the implementation of the promises made to the players.
There are no clear moves regarding the renewal of player contracts that expire at the end of the current or next season, nor have negotiation files been opened with some key elements, which may give them strong leverage against the club in the future.
These files are considered time bombs within the football team, which may explode at any time unless they are quickly contained.
