Meeting Held Over Outstanding Payments
Media personality Ibrahim Abdel-Gawad revealed through his official Facebook account that the meeting was held because of delays in paying part of the players’ financial dues.
The outstanding amounts include 20% of last season’s remaining payments, as well as new-season contract installments, making the issue a major concern for both the players and the club administration.
Zamalek Captains Set a Deadline
During the meeting, the team captains conveyed the players’ concerns and called on the board to move quickly to resolve the situation.
According to Ibrahim Abdel-Gawad, Zamalek’s captains asked the administration to work toward resolving the payments issue before mid-September, taking advantage of the current international break.
Players Have Different Financial Circumstances
The Zamalek captains reportedly explained to the board that players have different financial circumstances.
They stressed that some members of the squad are no longer able to tolerate further delays, making a clear payment schedule increasingly important.
Gaber, El Wensh and Fattouh Lead the Discussion
Omar Gaber, Mahmoud Hamdy El Wensh and Ahmed Fattouh represented the players during the meeting as senior members of the squad.
Their role is to maintain communication between the dressing room and the board while seeking a solution acceptable to both sides.
Hussein Labib Moves to Contain the Situation
Zamalek president Hussein Labib is working to contain the crisis and secure the financial resources needed to pay the outstanding dues.
The administration wants to address the issue as quickly as possible because the team remains involved in important domestic and continental competitions.
International Break Provides an Opportunity

The captains hope the club can use this period to reach a clear solution before competitive action resumes.
Players Want Clear Solutions
The players’ main demand appears to be actual payment rather than further promises about when the money may arrive.
The captains are seeking a clear timetable and practical plan to resolve the crisis, especially given the different financial needs among squad members.
