🏹 Zamalek Opens Contract File as El Ghandour Reveals New Management Move
Media figure Khaled El Ghandour revealed a new move by Zamalek’s board regarding player and foreign coach contracts registered at the Egyptian Football Association, as the club seeks to review financial details and ensure that they match reality.
El Ghandour explained that Zamalek’s management wants to examine all contracts documented at the Football Association and review their financial values, while also ensuring that contract registration procedures and tax payments were completed according to the real values of the agreements.
This move comes amid growing attention from Egyptian clubs toward financial governance and contract organization, especially because these issues are linked to participation licenses for domestic and continental competitions. ⚽🏆
📄 Reviewing Player and Foreign Coach Contracts
El Ghandour stated that Zamalek aims to review contracts involving all team members, including local and foreign players, as well as agreements with foreign coaching staffs who have worked at the club.
The club’s management wants to compare current contracts with previous agreements signed by players and coaches with other clubs, in order to evaluate whether the financial values match the actual abilities and market positions of each individual.
The administration is also examining whether there are unified or similar-value contracts among some players, which led to the request for full access to contract details.
💰 Focus on Financial Obligations and Taxes
The tax file is among the main issues Zamalek wants to review, especially because contract registration at the Football Association is connected to several financial and legal obligations.
Clubs are currently paying greater attention to ensuring their financial positions are properly organized, particularly with the implementation of club licensing regulations that require compliance with financial and administrative standards before participating in continental competitions.
Club officials believe that organizing this file can help avoid future problems related to registration, licensing, or financial disputes.
📢 El Ghandour Denies African License Delays
Meanwhile, Khaled El Ghandour discussed reports claiming that some clubs’ notifications regarding African licenses were delayed while waiting for Zamalek to complete its required documents.
El Ghandour confirmed that these reports are incorrect, explaining that the licensing committee works under unified procedures with all clubs and does not connect one club’s file to another.
He added that the committee continues reviewing documents submitted by all clubs seeking African licenses to ensure they meet the requirements and standards set by the Confederation of African Football.
🏆 Club Licensing.. An Important File in Egyptian Football
The club licensing file has become one of the most important issues for Egyptian clubs, especially because it is directly linked to participation in continental competitions and compliance with financial and administrative standards.
Clubs are working to improve their internal systems and achieve greater transparency in financial management, in line with the developments taking place in modern football.
Player contracts remain one of the most sensitive files inside clubs due to their direct impact on financial stability and the ability to compete domestically and internationally.
🔥 The coming period is expected to witness further moves regarding contract organization and financial reviews within Egyptian clubs, as teams seek greater discipline and professionalism.
