Zamalek SC Reaches Sustainable Solutions with Egyptian Endowments Authority

Zamalek SC's Negotiation Progress with the Egyptian Endowments Authority

On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, Zamalek SC announced that they have reached critical negotiations with the Egyptian Endowments Authority to tackle ongoing issues that have plagued the club for years. The main focus of the discussions was the club’s land ownership and accompanying financial obligations.

Resolution of Land Payments

As of August 2026, Zamalek SC is expected to complete payments for 90,000 square meters of land in Mit Okba, leaving a remainder of 50,000 square meters still to be addressed. This development is a substantial step towards resolving financial and operational hurdles affecting the club.

According to an official statement from Zamalek SC, a delegation from the club's board met with officials from the Endowments Authority to review all aspects concerning the club’s land ownership. The meeting not only covered the outstanding payments but also involved a detailed discussion about sustainable solutions that would meet the needs of both the state and the club.

Discussing Sustainable Future Solutions

The discussions yielded several cooperative solutions that respect the rights of the Egyptian state under the oversight of the Ministry of Endowments while simultaneously ensuring the stability of Zamalek SC. The club has expressed optimism about these negotiations, reflecting a commitment to long-term stability.

The meeting also revealed plans to initiate studies focused on legal, technical, and investment aspects of the proposed solutions, which will be revealed once the final agreement with the Endowments Authority is established.

Commitment to Club Integrity and Rights

The club's statement emphasized the appreciation of Zamalek SC’s board for the flexibility shown by the Endowments Authority regarding solutions that ensure the club's stability and protect the rights of the endowments. This cooperation aims to achieve a sustainable resolution, preserving the rights of club members and its vast fan base.

Broader Context

In a related context, Mohamed El-Shazly, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Youth and Sports, noted in a recent television interview that the ministry is focused on identifying three sustainable pathways to solve issues related to Zamalek SC. Additionally, Osama Raslan, the official spokesperson for the Endowments Ministry, previously indicated that there are two contracts tied to the land use. The first allows for temporary usage, while the latter relates to an exchange contract that, if fulfilled, would grant ownership of the land to Zamalek SC by 2026.

Zamalek SC continues to push forward with its mandate to resolve these long-standing issues, ensuring that the club can focus on its ambitions both on and off the field.
