Message to the Fans

Hossam Abdelmajid, Zamalek's defender, sent a powerful message to the club's fans through his social media accounts, amid the ongoing financial and administrative crises weighing on the team.

Abdelmajid wrote: \"Zamalek will always remain a strong fighter who knows no surrender, and those who don't believe in this should go back to history.\"

Crisis Updates: FIFA Sanctions and Debts

Zamalek has recently suffered several setbacks after FIFA formally announced a transfer ban in the upcoming window, amid a new case among a sequence of unresolved files, with some players threatening to terminate their contracts, the latest being Moroccan Mahmoud Bentayk.

Bentayk informed Zamalek of a unilateral contract termination due to not receiving his dues for more than three months.

The club is currently under unprecedented financial and legal pressure, as FIFA penalties have reached six full cases, underscoring the complexity of its sporting and administrative stability.

The latest notice regarding the late payments to former Tunisian star Ferjani Sassi reveals the depth of the crisis, as continued debt accumulation burdens the club's management and demands urgent, substantial funding.

The administration faces a major financial challenge: the need to immediately pay almost one million dollars to lift the ongoing transfer ban on the first team.

The six sanctions require urgent settlements to end legal crises threatening the club's future in the coming periods.

Sassi's case stands out as the most urgent, after a new official notice required Zamalek to pay 480,000 dollars, plus interest around 5% per year, bringing the total to about 505,000 dollars.

Any further delay would prolong the ban and swell the financial burden.
