Ahmed Abdel Halim: Separating Football Affairs from Zamalek’s General Assembly Is Necessary to Improve the Club’s Situation

Former Egyptian football star Ahmed Abdel Halim said improving Zamalek’s situation requires separating football affairs from the club’s General Assembly, following a meeting with former Zamalek players and club president Hussein Labib.

Abdel Halim explained that those present raised questions about the football company, and that Labib assured them Zamalek would not be harmed and that no one was above the club. He added that the company would be based on shares, and that the club would not pay members of the board of directors their dues through it. He noted that no specific investors had yet been identified for the company.

He said another meeting with Labib would be held in the coming days, and that Zamalek’s value lies in its problems, while emphasizing that the club is a major one and wins championships. He also praised Egypt national team coach Ali Maher and his appointment, commending his coaching style and relationship with the players, and stressing that Hossam Hassan’s achievement with the national team cannot be denied.
