👕 Zamalek Facing Problems With Sportswear Supply
Sports presenter Amir Hisham has revealed details of a dispute involving the sportswear supplied to Zamalek’s teams, saying there are questions over the implementation of the contract with the company responsible for providing the club’s kits.
Speaking on his “Modern Sports” program on Modern MTI, Hisham said the contract called for 25,000 items per season over a two-season agreement, for a total of 50,000 pieces.
📉 Only One-Third of the Agreed Quantity Reportedly Delivered
Amir Hisham said: “What has arrived at Zamalek does not exceed one-third of the quantity agreed under the contract.”
He identified the gap between the contracted amount and the quantity delivered as one of the main elements of the current dispute.
Hisham also claimed that the supplier had failed to comply with several contractual provisions, saying that more than 10 clauses were allegedly not fulfilled.
⚖️ Legal Memo Submitted and Investigation Underway
Hisham said that a memorandum has been submitted to Zamalek’s legal affairs department, with the club now reviewing the details of the agreement and its implementation.
He stated that the contract was signed by Ahmed Khaled Hassanine, a member of the Zamalek board, who was also responsible for the sportswear file according to Hisham’s account.
The legal review is expected to examine whether the contractual obligations were fulfilled and why there is such a large gap between the agreed and delivered quantities.
🩳 Some Kits Arrived Without Shorts
Hisham also highlighted several issues concerning the sportswear that reached the club, saying that some kits reportedly arrived without shorts.
He added that a large portion of the indoor-sports clothing, particularly for Zamalek’s basketball teams, arrived in quantities exceeding the club’s requirements, while other contracted items have yet to be delivered.
He also referred to complaints from some players regarding the quality of the clothing, saying that the concerns included a number of football players.
🤝 Hussein Labib Holds Meeting With Supplier
Hisham said a significant quantity of the sportswear agreed upon in the contract has still not reached Zamalek.
He added that Zamalek president Hussein Labib held a meeting with a representative of the clothing company in an effort to resolve the dispute, either by completing the outstanding deliveries or ensuring compliance with the contractual terms.
📋 Sportswear File Under Review
Hisham identified Ahmed Khaled Hassanine as the official responsible for the sportswear file and the person assigned to negotiate the contract.
He also claimed that Hassanine has had a limited presence at the club following John Edward’s departure and has been absent from some board and executive-office meetings.
🔥 Investigation Will Determine the Next Steps
Hisham concluded by confirming that the Zamalek sportswear file is currently under investigation by the club’s legal affairs department following the submission of the memorandum.
The final position on the alleged contractual violations will depend on the investigation and the official documents reviewed by the club. The issues described above remain claims attributed to Amir Hisham and do not by themselves establish a final finding of wrongdoing.
