Ahmed Soliman, a member of Zamalek SC's Board of Directors, has delivered a strong message to the club's supporters and General Assembly members regarding the ongoing discussions surrounding the establishment of the club's new football company and its ownership structure. 📢⚽
In a statement published on his official Facebook account, Soliman revealed that he has closely followed the widespread debate over the future of the football company, noting that he received numerous calls from General Assembly members and Zamalek supporters expressing concerns about preserving the club's historic identity and protecting its long-term interests. ⭐
🏹 Keeping the Majority Stake with the Club
Soliman emphasized that he would never accept any decision that compromises the rights or future of Zamalek. He confirmed that he will submit an official memorandum during the next board meeting outlining several proposals related to the football company project.
He expressed his full support for establishing Zamalek Football Company, describing it as a long-overdue investment initiative that could significantly strengthen the club's financial resources and improve its long-term sustainability. 💰
However, Soliman insisted that the controlling stake must remain in the hands of Zamalek SC to ensure that the club retains full authority over key decisions while safeguarding its historic identity.
🔥 General Assembly Must Have a Say
The Zamalek board member stressed that such an important issue should not be decided solely by the Board of Directors. Instead, he called for a transparent discussion involving the General Assembly, with full disclosure of the company's financial valuation and the value of its shares.
He added that if any proposal involves transferring the controlling stake to an investor, it should only be approved through an Extraordinary General Assembly, allowing the largest possible number of club members to participate in the decision-making process. 🏆
⚪ Secret Ballot for a Historic Decision
Soliman also proposed that voting on the football company should be conducted through a secret ballot, ensuring members can freely express their opinions on one of the club's most significant decisions.
Additionally, he suggested enforcing financial penalties on members who fail to attend the General Assembly, aiming to maximize participation in what he described as a historic moment for Zamalek.
📈 Football Company as Part of Future Development
The establishment of the football company is considered a key part of Zamalek's strategy to modernize its administrative and financial structure, following the global trend of professional football clubs creating independent companies to manage football operations, increase revenues, and achieve financial sustainability.
Many observers believe that the success of such a project depends on balancing investment opportunities with preserving the club's identity and protecting the interests of its members and supporters—an issue Soliman strongly emphasized in his statement.
✨ Fans Await the Next Move
Zamalek supporters are now awaiting the upcoming Board of Directors meeting, where the future of the football company is expected to be discussed in greater detail.
The issue remains one of the club's most important strategic projects, with fans hoping for complete transparency and meaningful participation by the General Assembly before any final decisions are made. ⚽🤍
