FIFA Hits Zamalek With Seventh Ban Again
17 December 2025
The White Knights face mounting finances.
Zamalek, the Egyptian club, suffered another heavy blow today, as FIFA, via its official site, suspended the club from registering new players, in a seventh case.
What does this mean?
The decision comes at a highly sensitive moment, just 14 days after the sixth punishment issued in relation to Tunisian player Ferjani Sassi, sparking whispers across fans everywhere.
Implications for Zamalek
According to FIFA's latest update on club disputes, the White Knights were sanctioned with a three-period ban on registering players in the new case, joining a string of pending matters that have deprived the club of squad reinforcement, including Ferjani Sassi, Swiss coach Christian Gross, and Portuguese manager Jose Gomes.
The ban is conditional on payment; it will be lifted only after Zamalek settles all outstanding dues in ongoing cases, a major administrative challenge.
