⚽ Medhat Abdelhady Supports Zamalek Football Company With Ownership Concerns

Former Zamalek star Medhat Abdelhady sparked discussion after talking about the club’s football company project, confirming that he does not oppose the idea but believes clear regulations are necessary to protect the club’s identity, history, and members’ rights. ⭐

Abdelhady believes establishing a football company could be an important step toward improving Zamalek’s financial and administrative structure, especially as modern football increasingly depends on sports investment.

However, the former defender expressed concerns about ownership percentages, stressing that giving investors the majority share could create risks that require careful consideration before making any final decisions. 🏆


📢 Abdelhady Warns Against Investors Controlling Decisions

During his television appearance, Abdelhady explained that he accepts the concept of a football company but disagrees with giving investors a larger percentage of ownership.

He emphasized the need to fully protect Zamalek’s rights, explaining that investors may initially enter with development goals, but future financial changes could lead them to sell their shares to other parties.

He added that clear rules must exist to prevent any negative impact on the club’s future. 🔥

The former player also called on Zamalek’s management to reveal all details regarding the football company, including investor identities, ownership percentages, and decision-making mechanisms.


🏹 Transparency With General Assembly Members Is Essential

Abdelhady stressed the importance of informing Zamalek’s general assembly members about all project details before implementation.

He explained that the club belongs to its fans and members, meaning transparency should be a priority in any future step.

The former Zamalek star warned that investors holding up to 60% ownership could create concerns if they become the main decision-makers in football operations.

At the same time, he acknowledged the importance of investment and financial support to help the club compete and achieve success. ⚽✨


🌍 Hossam Abdelmaguid’s European Move Raises Questions

Abdelhady also discussed Hossam Abdelmaguid’s move to the Bulgarian league, saying that although it is not among Europe’s strongest competitions, the transfer should not be underestimated.

He explained that playing abroad can help the defender gain experience and improve his level, rejecting the idea that the move is only a temporary step toward another club.

He believes the player’s success depends on his ability to develop and benefit from the experience rather than only focusing on the league’s reputation. ⭐


🔥 Abdelhady Talks About Zizo’s Move to Al Ahly

The former Zamalek player also discussed Ahmed Sayed “Zizo” joining Al Ahly, stating that the player would not accept reducing his salary.

Abdelhady suggested that financial reasons played a major role in Zizo’s decision to leave Zamalek and join Al Ahly, explaining that the player chose the offer that suited him best.

Zizo’s move remains one of the biggest stories in Egyptian football due to the player’s importance and popularity among Zamalek supporters before his departure. 🔴⚪
