The renewal of former Zamalek Club president Mortada Mansour’s membership, along with the memberships of his sons, has sparked discussions recently after a source inside the club revealed details regarding the legal status of his continued membership.
The source explained that the renewal process was completed normally because the decision to cancel Mortada Mansour’s membership was never officially approved, allowing his membership at the club to remain active until now.
Why Mortada Mansour’s Zamalek Membership Remained Active
Membership Cancellation Decision Was Not Approved
The source confirmed that the previous Zamalek board’s decision regarding the cancellation of Mortada Mansour’s membership was not fully implemented because it was not included on the agenda of the club’s general assembly meeting.
