Zamalek Breaks Silence: Clear Update on Meit Akba Lands and Finances

The White Castle battles several financial headwinds.

Update on Zamalek's land and finances

A club spokesman said there is currently no legal or financial crisis tied to the club's lands in Meit Akba, stressing Zamalek's full commitment to paying all amounts owed to the Ministry of Endowments on schedule and without delay.

The source told Koora that the check circulating on social media is not due at the moment, as its payment is due in August, noting the club still has a final installment of 875,000 Egyptian pounds; once paid, land ownership will officially transfer to Zamalek.

Regarding usufruct contracts, the official stressed the club's regular payments, confirming that the December installment has already been drafted and signed, which completely denies any ongoing legal actions against the club.

A Wakf official appeared on Zamalek's official channel today to remove any doubt and confirm the legal and financial position to the public, according to the source.

The news about the Wakf dispute has heightened fans' worry, especially given the club's recent troubles, notably the stoppage of registrations and the withdrawal of land in October Gardens.

What this means for supporters

The club's clarified stance aims to reassure fans amid a period of turbulence, but questions remain about the timeline and the larger implications for future dealings.

Punchline 1: If budget talks were a sniper shot, Zamalek would hit the target and still miss the post-match press conference.

Punchline 2: The only thing heavier than the paperwork here is my coffee after reading this update.
