Zamalek on the Clock: Keeping a Defensive Star from Sliding Away
Zamalek faces a critical moment as defender Hossam Abdelmagid’s contract nears expiration amid financial strain. The club fears a repeat of past exits that unsettled their backline, with Al Ahly reportedly circling the 24-year-old. Abdelmagid is seen as a future staple for Egypt’s defense, making renewal essential for both club and country. Parallel to this, Zamalek prepare for a CAF Confederation Cup tie against Somalia’s Dekedaha, amid a broader continental and domestic campaign.
