Ahmed Hassan, former star of the Egyptian national team, has revealed new developments concerning the future of Mahmoud Abdel-Razek "Shikabala," the captain of Zamalek’s first football team.

In a post on his official Facebook page, Ahmed Hassan stated that Shikabala will decide his future with Zamalek after the highly anticipated clash against Pyramids in the Egypt Cup final. This clearly indicates that the player is currently evaluating all options before making a final decision on whether to continue or leave the club.

Ahmed Hassan’s remarks come at a time when Zamalek fans are eagerly awaiting the decision of their veteran captain, who is considered one of the most iconic figures in the club’s recent history. Speculation has been growing about the possibility of his retirement or a potential move into a management role within the club.

Meanwhile, Zamalek continued their strong run with a valuable 3-1 victory over Petrojet in a match held on Saturday evening at the Military College Stadium. The game was part of the eighth round of the final stage of the Egyptian Premier League.

With this important win, Zamalek boosted their position on the league table, raising their tally to 44 points in third place, while Petrojet remained at 26 points in eighth, continuing to struggle in the decisive phase of the competition.

Zamalek fans are eagerly awaiting what will unfold after the Cup final, amid the uncertainty surrounding Shikabala’s future — a player long regarded as a symbol of loyalty and devotion within the White Castle.
